SAN FRANCISCO (Business 2.0) - In another sign that Apple (Research) is planning an iTunes Movie Store, a research firm is surveying users to ask what they'd think of such a service. The survey details a subscription service with 1,000 movies available for $9.99 a month, and a different option where movies would be available to purchase for $12.95 apiece. Movies could be moved to a video-capable iPod or played on TV, but couldn't be burned to DVD. Those polled were asked whether they'd prefer the rental or purchase options. No word on when the movie service might launch, but at Tuesday's launch of the Intel Mac mini, Jobs closed the event by announcing, 'We'll see you all real soon.' Previously, at Macworld Expo, Jobs had hinted in his keynote that Apple might announce products around the company's 30th anniversary, which takes place on April 1.
