Apple hat damit begonnen, Mitarbeiter der AppleCare Supportabteilungen zum Thema “Movie Downloads auf dem iPhone” einzuweisen.

“Now however, AppleInsider has learned from people familiar with Apple’s training program that new self-guided training materials being distributed to familiarize AppleCare agents with the features of iPhone 3.0 software “definitely covered” the ability to directly download movies and TV shows on the device itself, rather than just syncing video content through iTunes.

Those people noted that the advanced training was unique, saying that “Apple never puts out product training this far ahead of a product launch. This training material is roughly 6 weeks early, they said, having arrived in the form of a single training module on Tuesday. “

Movie Downloads direkt aufs iPhone bzw. den iPod touch sollen mit Firmware 3.0, vorerst aber nur via WiFi möglich sein. Ob diese Movies in kleinerer Auflösung, dementsprechend geringerer Dateigröße und so auch günstiger sein werden, ist noch unklar.
