In iTunes 9 will Blu-ray support

New data on the ninth version of the multimedia player Apple - iTunes. TheAppleBlog reportsThat iTunes 9 will be equipped with features such as Blu-ray support, the ability to organize in the player application icons iPod / iPhone (and the changes will be transferred to your phone / player synchronization), integration with Twitter / Facebook social networks and online radio Last. FM.

If we recall that recently said about the new features in the last line of the iMac, which may be of interest professionals working with video and audio recordings, it is quite possible, that the support Blu-ray in the iMac and was speech.

In principle, the need to integrate support for Blu-ray to Apple products - an issue of conflicting opinions. Just a year ago Steve Jobs himself (Steve Jobs) argued that the Blu-ray - a great way to enjoy watching movies but Technology licensing is so complex that Apple prefers to wait until this development will take a firm stand on market. And as since been almost a year, and the company Sony, Phillips and Panasonic announced on simplification Technology licensing process, it's possible that Apple and wish to get their piece of the pie Blu-ray.

Also, on the basis of strict digital rights management rules, Blu-ray Disc owners will be allowed to do Only one backup copy of the content and download it to your iPod and other portable devices and does prohibited. So that the profitability and the need to support Blu-ray to Apple technology is still being questioned.

In my opinion, the only device where Blu-ray support would be by the way - this Apple TV. In all other Apple products, it would be excessive.
