Video was inevitable in digital audio players; to actually build the consumer demand portion of that, there really needs to be compelling content. What's promising is that you have one of the biggest content companies in the world willing to experiment with this. But I'm doubtful it will appeal (right now). What will be more compelling is $10 for a whole season. But with Apple and Disney talking, it brings the ability for innovative distribution deals to come to light.
