Apple is mulling a plan to cut the price of TV show downloads in half — an idea that's not going over too well in Hollywood.
According to three people familiar with the proposal, Apple has told networks and studios that it would like to slash the cost of most TV episodes sold via iTunes from the current $1.99 to just 99 cents — te same as what Apple charges for most music singles.

Like the iPhone, the Touch does indeed run OS X, and has the same sort of hardware limitations as its rich uncle. The Nano works just fine with external microphones and you can click a checkbox in iTunes and use it as a standad USB storage device; no such joy with the Touch.

1. Add EVDO/EDGE/3G Data, so that the internet is always-on.
2. Microphone, so that Skype works.
3. Camera.
Essentially, there are opportunites for third parties to make the iPod touch to be a "real" iPhone without the AT&T phone part. The barrier of entry: Apple, and its tight control over the dock connector SDK.

The Long Tail dominating the music market and not the content providers.

After a few hours of side-by-side comparisons, I'm convinced more than ever that the iPhone isnt' the device for me. I'll be replacing my BlackBerry with... another BlackBerry.

Before breaking out the pitchforks and torches, please understand that this appears to be an unwelcome side-effect of the way iTunes goes about its business rather than an attempt to target iToner or other methods for installing custom ringtones.
