The expected films in the iTunes Store were announced as well as iTunes 7, which looks like a major [...]

There are several rumors surrounding today’s event, the biggest of which being the addition of movie downloads to the music store. I was downloading an episode of Eureka (a great TV show from Sci-Fi) last night and when I took a look to see if it had finished, I had received an error message [...]
