Movie links appear on German QuickTime page

The evidence continues to mount. Several eagle-eyed readers have spotted the images and links depicted at right on the Quicktime page of Apple's website for Germany. Of course, the links aren't working for me right now (clicking them just brings up the "It's Showtime" message), but they do begin with the familiar "phobos.apple.com..." address. Some of you have argued that these are for soundtracks, but the title of the column is "iTunes Videos." I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens.

If you're in a country that has not yet had television and/or videos in iTunes and you find such a link on your respective country's Apple site, please let us know!

Thanks to everyone who sent this in

They are on the Canada page, and clicking on the "iTunes Videos" section yields a 404 error on this page: http://phobos.apple.com/showtime/showtime.html

The Portuguese Apple Site (or better, Apple IMC Portugal) has the same, and we never saw music videos in our iTMS. We only had music and that thing never existed .

I think is true!

Well, the 'more...' link below that section is still to music videos, but if you look at the link to Transporter 2:
http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/inboundRedirect?omni-ch=Store+Front&omni-pg=Movie+Trailers&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.apple.com%2Fmoviesxml%2Fh%2Findex.xml

You can see "Movie+Trailer". Ok, nothing new there, but if you look into http://www.apple.com/moviesxml/h/index.xml, that's the content page that iTunes will render into a nice ITMS interface, that shows "New Movie Trailers" and "DVD Movie Trailers" sections.

Some countries have had this for a while. The UK hasn't, but would they really call the section "DVD" movie trailers if they were going to offer a download option? Surely it would be "iTunes Movie Trailers" or something.

This is not new... they're just links to movie trailers, which have been in iTunes for years!

They are trailers, because you can see "World of Warcraft" and "Enigmo 2", which are both video games, and those are the trailers for them.

If they're movies than they wouldn't be square would they? Those are the CD album covers for the soundtracks. Unless Apple is redefining the movie cover format I don't believe we are seeing actual feature length films there.
