Apple and Google in talks about iTV

This would be really cool, but isn't the resolution really low on Google video? It would look like junk when upscaled for a TV or Projector...

they can support xvid pretty easily, its mpeg-4 compliant (although i forget if apple has improved their own mpeg-4 support, it has been pretty crappy in the past). the main issues are lack of ac3 support, and container support. avi should burn in hell cause it technically cant support any of the crap people are doing with it, but matroska support would be nice. problem is that it seems to be a bitch to write qt components, so the existing mkv projects have went no where.

I can already watch google video and YouTube on my modified xbox. Not to mention the 400 or so DVD's that I ripped to xvid/ac3. Too bad apple won't support xvid.

It's also filed under "analysis" and given a head that has the distinct odor of "fact" wafting off it. I'm just sayin'...

Google already supports downloads to iPod on their video site. And Eric Schmidt recently joined the board. And Google hasn't had a big win with video as of yet.

Some things are so connect-the-dots obvious that they must be true. ; )

Adrian, I'm not reporting this as fact. You'll notice that it is in the 'rumor' category.

Why would Apple team up with Google when Apple sells TV shows and now movies?

Interesting how this started out as rumor and getting channelled through various news sources and ends up as fact...
