iTunes Movies… and New Media Device?

Appleinsider believes that Apple will be introducing an iTunes Movie Store and a new media device, at their upcoming September 12th event.

Appleinsider expects that Steve Jobs will announce that users will be able to purchase movies from at least one major movies studio, and the cost of a movie would be at around $9.99.

“Appleinsider, however, also claims that Apple has been working on their next killer device. Instead of a video iPod device to drive movie sales, they believe a video streaming device is in the works:
Jobs many months ago commissioned an elite group of Apple engineers to get the ball rolling on an intuitive hardware solution that would more closely tie the company’s digital media strategy to the living-room.
….
Insiders can only presume the device will take up the form of a video-enabled version of Apple’s existing AirPort Express wireless base station, which lets users stream their iTunes music tracks from their computers to their home stereo receivers. It also acts as a wireless 802.11 router and printing hub.”
