… and will Apple censor our viewing content the way they’ve (tried to) censor our reading?

"I have no reason to believe this is not a faked up screen shot, but not because the service is not believable, simply because there would be nothing to download yet."

took the words right out my mouth.

This thing (should it exist) could easily be limited to WIFI, which makes any Carrier or 3G limitations go away, and would be perfect for the Touch users as well as the iPhone users. This image appears to be from a Touch, not an iphone.

I have no reason to believe this is not a faked up screen shot, but not because the service is not believable, simply because there would be nothing to download yet.

Not sure about direct to phone, but I’d love to be able to order a movie on my phone, and then, have Apple TV download it for when I get in.

The Shocking: Posting the information pre-launch. The Insanely Great Leader will have someone’s head on a spit.

The Unshocking: Movie & TV Downloads. Why this has not happened sooner is beyond explanation. We currently have the ability to download video Podcasts. Under 10 MB – via AT&T. Over 10 MB – you get a message to connect to WiFi. Paid content should be no different than the freebies. My guess is that the video Podcast release was a beta to prepare both Apple and more importantly AT&T for what’s coming.

I don't see this happening for a long time.

We JUST got the whole sling player thing finally and now this?

I'm not saying this isn't possible. I've been to Japan and Korea and I've certainly seen all of this. Mind you it was IN a subway so it's all possible. BUT we're far behind because of the massive land we have and for that I don't think we should hold our breath.

My 3G still skimps out and sometimes "fails" when I have 5 damn bars so yea...... not for a loooooooong time.
