nanofam 20070910 131656 PC Mag calls 3G iPod nano the best designed flash video player on the marketSteve Jobs must be all a’twitter at reading Tim Gideon’s review of the new iPod nano. Not only does Gideon call the device “the best-designed flash video player on the market” but he goes on to say that “watching an episode of ‘The Office’ was pure joy, and the gaming graphics also shine.” 4.5 out of 5 stars ain’t bad neither.

NBC wants out of the world’s most popular online music, TV and movie store

nbcwtf 20070831 180316 NBC wants out of the worlds most popular online music, TV and movie storeApple today announced that it will not be selling NBC television shows for the upcoming television season on its online iTunes Store. The move follows NBC’s decision to not renew its agreement with iTunes after Apple declined to pay more than double the wholesale price for each NBC TV episode, which would have resulted in the retail price to consumers increasing to $4.99 per episode from the current $1.99.

ABC, CBS, FOX and The CW, along with more than 50 cable networks, are signed up to sell TV shows from their upcoming season on iTunes at $1.99 per episode.

Apple’s agreement with NBC ends in December. Since NBC would withdraw their shows in the middle of the television season, Apple has decided to not offer NBC TV shows for the upcoming television season beginning in September. NBC supplied iTunes with three of its 10 best selling TV shows last season, accounting for 30 percent of iTunes TV show sales.
