Apple Set To Launch iMovie Store With Tablet Device?

Video on Demand is gaining traction. TiVo has become a verb. Broadband Internet connections now exceed 50-percent of US homes. It’s time for a wireless video table device from Apple that combines Mac OS X, iPod, InkWell, and a movie version of the iTunes Music Store. iMovies for the rest of us.

Dennis Sellers over at Macsimum Perspective asks, “Is it time for an iMovie Store?”

The answer is, yes. Apple should do it.

While the Cupertino computer giant might be somewhat preoccupied with the iPod and iTunes Music Store, the Redmond Goliath is breathing down their neck with an about-to-be-launched Microsoft Music Store and upgraded Windows Media Player. Apple needs another weapon.

iMove Store?

Rumors of a new wireless tablet device that can stream video to a television continue to grow. Sellers says it’s time for Apple to get into the Video on Demand (VoD) market with an iMovie Store. Apple has all the pieces in place. Stellar products. Experience with the iTunes Music Store. Plenty of bandwidth. And a nation of movie goers and watchers who are paying money for Digital Video Recorders-- DVR’s.

What do you think? Would you pay to download music from an iMovie Store? Would you want a portable wireless tablet device to record, store, and playback movies and DVDs to your TV?
