Video Icons in iTunes 5 Spawns Speculation
An Ars journal article points to new "Gift Video", "Buy Video", and "Add Video" icons found in the most recent release of iTunes 5.
The article blurb points to this as definitive evidence that Apple is planning a "Video Store".
More likely, these icons will be used to sell Music Videos as previously reported in July. At that time, the Wall Street Journal reported that Apple was seeking to license music videos to sell through the iTunes Music Store. The songs were expected to cost $1.99 a piece.
Apple has already started bundling music videos with some songs as far back as May of this year.

As much as I don't see as much use for it as a song, this might work. in the end it's the song people want. I can see throwing some parties with the music videos playing on top of the songs. I'm quite sure this will not average 60 music videos per person...

Sounds more like downloadable music videos.
Apple should release a bittorrent-like iTunes protocol for handling news clips, movies and video talkshow podcasts.

I also read somewhere that there was an .ogg icon, but no support for it. Same with .wma. I really hope they release this video iPod, or at least a new iPod with more disk space because I've been iPodless for 2 weeks!

What about selling actual MOVIES? I wonder how much disk space a full length feature film would take encoded with H.264. Once the next gen DVD Players are in full swing it would be easy to burn a purchased H.264 movie to disk to play on your dvd player.

What good does it do to sell music videos without the ability to watch them? iPod AV is coming. Probably next year.
