With the announcement of Apple's video iPod, are we entering the age of the video podcast? Perhaps in time but now the closest thing to it are videoblogs, which you can subsribe to already through readers like FireAnt.

Better yet, perhaps is the news that iTunes 6.0 is available. Apple will offer music videos, priced at $1.99. Will indies be able to offer music videos? With video, does iTunes 6.0 provide a new way to distribute music?

I am also interested to see that with iTunes you can now gift music, post reviews and make recommendations, which they call "Just For You." I wonder how open this will really be. Yahoo! Podcasts seems to have hit the right note with their new service. I guess we'll see how Apple compares.

Engadget sums up what iTunes 6.0 offer in video:


On the video side they’re launching with 2,000 QVGA formatted FairPlay DRMed music videos which you can pick up for $1.99 apiece, as well as episodes of five ABC series (Lost, Desperate Housewives, Night Stalker, That’s So Raven, The Suite Life), also two bucks a go.
