Nexflix-Style iTunes Movie Rentals
Since I don't know anyone at Apple, and my cubemate is disinterested in the topic, I thought I could get some sense of satisfaction by sharing my thought here.
I'd never even consider a subscription-based music service, but while I own a decent number of DVDs, I'm generally interested in watching a movie only once?maybe twice. While other companies have created online downloadable movie rental services that mimic the traditional brick-and-mortor model, I'd be more interested in a service that emulated Netflix: for a monthly fee, I'd be able to have a certain number of movies available on my computer (and iPod) which I could hold on to as long as I wanted and could watch as often as I wanted. When I was done, the file would be deleted and a new movie automatically downloaded. If Apple were to offer this type of service, I'd be the first to sign up.
