“Now would be a really good time for Apple to rethink its video content strategy and make changes that will hold what I’m unaffectionately calling NBComcast at bay. It’s time for Apple to leverage its strengths by offering something like “Complete My Album” or “Upgrade to iTunes Plus” for movies, TV shows and music videos. Such iTunes features could change how people electronically rent or buy video content.”
I don’t think Apple will ever do the same things Youtube and Hulu already do. I mean, Cupertino never does the same things as others. They came out with a full featured online music store when online music stores didn’t exist.
They won’t just copy Hulu or offer the same stuff you can find (for free) on Youtube. If they have plans for something video related, it will sure be part of the Tablet project.
