Apple seeks iPod content on Blu-ray disks 1:17PM
Apple is asking movie studios to include video content for iPods on Blu-ray discs, according to iPod Hub.
The website says that industry insiders have reported that Apple wants to have content available before its next iPod model is introduced. This, the report says, will be the long-awaited large-screen version.

Apple joined the Sony-led Blu-ray Disc Association last year, saying at the time that the format, which can store up to 50GB on a single disc, would be ideal for Mac users 'already creating stunning HD content with Apple's leading video editing applications'.

The company has yet to announce plans to fit BD drives in its computers, though they could well make their debut in the first Intel-powered Power Macs later this year. Incidentally, Intel has thrown its considerable weight behind Blu-ray's rival technology, HD DVD.
