Our new podcast: Meet...
We know. Podcasts are so last year - but this one you won't want to miss. Whether it’s a rumor that won’t die, a new product announcement, or just a really good Macintosh or iPhone app find that we have to let you know about, we’ll make sure it’s covered on Appletellcast.
iPhone App Reviews
iPhone Apps. They were great when the App Store was first announced and we could all pick and chose what we wanted, but the number is now overwhelming. Here at Appletell, we'll detail the great iPhone apps we find, and steer you clear from those that aren't worth it even if they're free.
iPhone Game Reviews
As Apple turns the iPhone into one of the most popular gaming devices, the staff of Appletell--gamers and Apple fans alike--are here to help you get the most entertainment value out of your app store purchases.
A lot of people were really happy to hear Steve Jobs’ announcement at yesterday’s Macworld that you will be able to rent movies directly from iTunes. The movie rentals cost $2.99 for library rentals, and $3.99 for new releases. The piece that sealed the deal during the keynote was the fact that you would be able to get the HD versions of movies for only $1 more per rental.
Well Ars dug up a little more information from an Apple rep yesterday, and it turns out you will not be able to use the rent-to-own feature on HD movies. If you thought that was bad, to add insult to injury, the movies are only available for rental from your AppleTV. I don’t know if this is Apple’s way of making you buy an AppleTV, or just a safety precaution for customers who aren’t smart enough to realize they can’t get HD on their iPods, but it sucks.
I like high quality video, and if I could pay $1 more for HD, even if it was only on my computer, it would be a lot more worth it to me and I’d be more inclined to rent or purchase it. Apple made a few mistakes yesterday, it should be interesting to see how it all pans out.
