video iPod


SAN JOSE, California (AP) -- Apple Computer Inc. unveiled Wednesday an iPod capable of playing videos, evolving the portable music player of choice into a multimedia platform for everything from TV shows to music videos.

Videos will now be sold online alongside songs on Apple's iTunes Music Store.

Citing a groundbreaking deal with ABC Television Group, Apple chief executive Steve Jobs said the online iTunes store will sell episodes of hit shows "Desperate Housewives" and "Lost" (and Night Stalker)for $1.99 each, making them available the day after they air on television for viewing on the new iPod's 2.5-inch color screen.
