You have to pay for those to get it on an ipad, iphone, etc.. via the apple store. I have a hard time believing this has more to do with iphones crashing than it does with the fact that they'll lose a ton of revenue if it was allowed. |
ABC has a free streaming app for iPad already, and Hulu has an app in the works. I guess Apple accidentally forgot to crush it.
People think that iTunes is huge money for Apple... it really isn't. It's less than 10% of Apple's revenue, and that's divided between apps, music and video downloads. iTunes is marginally profitable, it's main purpose is to help sell high-margin hardware, which it seems to be doing rather well.
