Mögliche Apple-Wal-Mart-Allianz

Laut Variety verhandeln Apple und Wal-Mart derzeit miteinander: «A deal could take the form of a digital download "coupon" that would allow consumers to buy movies, TV shows or music on iTunes with Apple paying the retail giant a percentage of the proceeds, one industry insider said. What's in it for Apple? Since studios (except for Disney, of course) have so far turned a cold shoulder to iTunes because of Wal-Mart's demands, the computer giant would then gain access to titles from every major.» Wal-Mart gilt als eine der größten Hürden beim Ausbau von Apples Filmangebot im iTunes Store.
