When Apple first released Macs, almost at the same time portable devices such as iPod,iPhone, Apple TV, PSP, MP4 Player capable of playing videos and movies are most popular, the industry buzzed and consumers were extremely excited. The early birds rushed out to purchase them only to be disappointed that there was a limited number of videos available to download at the Internet.
