iTunes Video Sales Top 1 Million
Apple announced today that the iTunes video sales have exceeded 1 million videos since October 12th.
"Selling 1 million videos in less than 20 days strongly suggests there is a market for legal video downloads," Steve Jobs, chief executive officer, said in a statement. "Our next challenge is to broaden our content offerings, so that customers can enjoy watching more videos on their computers and new iPods."
Apple presently offers over 2000 music videos, 5 Disney/ABC television shows, and 6 Pixar shorts. It's unclear what the breakdown of video sales are.
According to Reuters, Apple is actively requiting more content: "Sources have said Apple is in discussions to lure more U.S. television networks to provide programming"
