The persistent buzz surrounding the possible release of a video iPod turned to loud chatter this weekend following a report in the Wall Street Journal (WSJ).
According to the story, Apple is currently in negotiations with music labels to license their music videos to sell via the iTunes music store and that could just be the start of it.
“The negotiations are a possible prelude to a version of Apple’s hit iPod that would play video, a widely expected gadget that Apple has told some entertainment-industry executives that it could announce by September,” the paper says.
The WSJ reports that Apple has already approached the Big Four (Warner, EMI, Universal and Sony BMG) to license music videos which could go on sale as early as September for $1.99 each.
Apple is already bundling music videos with select albums on iTunes.
