WSJ: Apple to Soon Dive Into Music Videos
Sunday, July 17th, 2005 at 3:00 PM - by Brad Gibson
Apple Computer is said to be in negotiations with the music industry to start selling a much larger array of music videos through the iTunes Music Store (iTMS), possibly starting in September, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday (subscription required).
The company has been offering a small number of music videos on iTMS since early May, but the business daily reported that more widespread sales of such videos could be around the corner.

"The videos, which could go on sale as early as September, would likely be sold for $1.99 each, with the possibility of a discount if consumers buy a music video and a song at the same time, these people said."
"I believe it's inevitable," Richard Doherty, an analyst with the Envisioneering Group, a research and consulting firm, said of a video iPod to WSJ.

Apple recently licensed a chip from a subsidiary of Broadcom Corp. that could be used to display video on portable devices, though it can also be used to power more sophisticated graphics, a person familiar with the matter said. Apple has also approached some media companies with television-production arms about licensing shows, one media executive told The Journal
