SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Could the company that helped catapult the legal music download market with IPods and ITunes now kick-start the online movie market?
Rumours of Apple Computer Inc.'s (NASDAQ:AAPL) plans to launch a movie download service gained momentum Tuesday after the company sent invitations to the media, saying "It's Showtime,'' next week.
The media event scheduled for Sept. 12 is set in San Francisco and coincides with the opening day of the Apple Expo in Paris.
Speculation of the IPod maker adding full-length feature films to its online ITunes Music Store have swirled for months. Already, the Cupertino, Calif.-based computer company has become a multimedia powerhouse with its song and TV show downloads. Analysts said it would only be a matter of time before Apple started distributing movies online.
