TVPredictions: Apple yesterday gave its disappointing Internet TV device a face lift, adding High-Definition movies and lowering the price.
At this week’s Macworld conference, Apple CEO Steve Jobs said the company is unveiling new software for the Apple TV, allowing owners to rent movies from the iTunes store which can be played back on a widescreen HDTV.
The iTunes movie catalog will consist of more than 1,000 titles including more than 100 in high-def. The list will include films from all major studios.
“With the new Apple TV and iTunes Movie Rentals, movie lovers can rent DVD-quality or stunning HD movies from their couch with just a click of a button,” said Jobs. “No more driving to the video store or waiting for DVDs to arrive in the mail.”
