iPod manufacturer Apple is thought to be close to signing up to a revolutionary deal with one of the world's biggest movie companies.
Rumours have been circulating on the internet that the company's deal with Twentieth Century Fox will allow iTunes users the chance to download rental copies of new releases from the film company.
Under the system, customers would be able to download the films through the software but only view them for a certain amount of time.
It is thought that the first major announcement on the deal could also take place at Macworld Expo next month, making Fox the first studio since Disney to allow iPod owners to legally download content.
The news of the imminent deal has come after iSkysoft recently launched software which allows Mac users to convert their favourite DVDs into video files for playback on the portable entertainment player.
It thought that the software retails for £14.
