Apple May Start Offering Music Videos; Possibly Video iPod

This will add more fuel to the Apple iTunes-iPod video speculation. We’ve been covering Apple’s quiet moves into video, with its new iTunes 4.8 version (which allows video play).

Now WSJ says that Apple is having negotiations with music labels, to license music videos to sell through iTunes store. And the negotiations are a possible prelude to video iPod, a widely expected gadget that Apple has told some entertainment-industry executives that it could announce by September.

The videos, which could also go on sale in September, would likely be sold for $1.99 each, with the possibility of a discount if consumers buy a music video and a song at the same time.

Apple has also approached some media companies with TV-production arms about licensing shows
