Mac Mini & PSP... watch them!
I have posted before that, imho, this column of Robert X. Cringely (which is an excellent read) contains a lot of things that can become reality, and will, if you ask me…
So, today, this comes around:
Sony wants an ‘iTunes for movies’(BBC News)
So, again, mark my words… Sony & Apple are up to something, something big… (and I don’t mind at all) :-)
They do make an excellent couple, now don’t they? Just add a big-ass TV (preferably Sony, I guess) to connect to your Mac Mini and a proper download-service for your movies and tada!
In that column Robert also writes “And the proprietary content will be video encoded in AVC H.264, which will be supported first in OS X 10.4, promised for the second quarter of this year. So Apple can’t announce that it is in the movie distribution business until 10.4 (code-named Tiger) is available.”
Well, what can we read at appleinsider.com?
Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger build declared gold master
...and about that H.264, that is the constant factor in both Blu-Ray and HD-DVD... but it seems this hush-hush Apple/Sony-thing will be hitting the market (remember, the hardware is already on the market now ) before there’s a standard in discs… how about that? :-)
