iTunes Store Sells 1 Million Videos

Apple announced that its iTunes Music Store sold one million videos in the first twenty days since video content was launched alongside the release of a new video-playing iPod. On Oct. 12, Apple expanded the range of content available on iTunes from music, audiobooks and podcasts to include over 2,000 music videos, short films from studios like Pixar, and episodes of TV shows like ABC's "Lost" and "Desperate Housewives."
