iTunes Music Store Sells Over 1 Million Videos

iTunes Music Store Sells Over 1 Million Videos — Less than 20 days after unveiling new video-capable iPods and announcing Apple would begin selling music videos, short films, and selected ad-free ABC television episodes for $1.99 apiece, Apple says it has already sold more than 1 million videos through its iTunes Music Store. The most popular items include music videos from Michael Jackson, Fatboy Slim, and Kanye West; Pixar’s shorts For the Birds and Boundin’; and episodes of Lost and Desperate Housewives. Apple’s press release quotes CEO Steve Jobs saying the sales indicate a strong market for legal video downloads, and pledging to expand iTMS’s video offerings.
