The 2006 Macworld Expo, starting tomorrow in SF, will see a slew of major announcement from Apple, or so analysts expect. Among them, content partnerships would form a big part. There’s two separate speculations for the cotent world:
– Apple could roll out new Mac minis with FrontRow, Apple’s own entertainment PC software, positioning is as a media hub. Another possibility: a product with DVR-like functionality.
– Video distribution through iTunes: expect more deals, including TV shows and possibly even full-length movie downloads.
ThinkSecret has a run down of all the rumors, and on the content side, Apple might deliver digital content partly through Apple’s iDisk service of .Mac, including full-length downloads.
