Why won't Apple let movies be downloaded directly to iDevices?

Have you ever been trying to download an app and then your out of the wifi zone or something, and then you just have a halfway downloaded app on one of your pages? maybe it's something like that.

 

I think it's because Apple is a company full of douchebags.

 

Yes, thats mainly the reason. But at least the games on the itouch are fun.

 

That's cuz Apple doesn't develop them.

 

well; supposedly imovie in the cloud will be introduced at macworld and allow that.... wait and see.

 

File size.

 

That, and think about how long it would take to download said movie.

 

Yeah, which is because of file size.

 

yup, file size, especially because apple's movies on itunes are like 1 gig!!! That would take an hour on a COMPUTER!

 

Took my computer 15 minutes.

2.26 GHz dual core + 3GB RAM FTW.

 

DAMN! They're on to us!

BEAM ME UP, SCOTTY!

 

lol, I can do that too, just not on wifi. took me 25 minutes to download the iphone sdk (1.6 gigs) if you go to http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ and do it, i got 15000kbps, holy crap

And guys, shuddup about the aliens!!! THATS CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, remember?

 

My computer only uses wifi. I have a lack of Ethernet cable......

15000KBPS? I think I just heard my heart stop.

 

I've been wondering about this one for a while. They really need to add it in as a Wi-Fi only method of course, but it would make sense to have it. Even to have the option to set a download on your main desktop so when you get back home to your computer the movie is waiting for you.

 

haha, i just realized though that kbps is kiloBITS/s. there are 8 bit in a byte, so divide the 15000 by 8 and its more like 1.9 megs a second. Still freakin fast though

 

Yeah, my router is only 54KBPS.

 

lime wire can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 3 hours to download a quality film, preferably the dark knight
