Apple Computer Inc. Chief Executive Steve Jobs had a great day on Tuesday (January 9, 2007). His company’s music site, iTunes has racked up its 2 billionth download and now leads the digital sales market ahead of long time online music retail leader Amazon.com.
At 5 million songs everyday or 58 songs every second it shows no sign of slowing down and only reinforces the idea that downloadable digital music is here to stay.
At Tuesday's annual Macworld Conference and Expo in San Francisco he also unveiled the highly anticipated iPhone – a fully functional touch screen phone with integrated iTunes – like an iPod you can talk through.
But Jobs is not stopping there. He also gave the world a glimpse of how he sees television in the future. The Apple TV is a box that will allow users to send video data from
their computer to their television screen. These little boxes promise big and should change the way television is watched in 2007.
If everything goes as Jobs plans consumers will download their favorite movies and television shows from iTunes and stream them on their Apple TV, iPod or iPhone.
Who said the digital revolution was over?
