Rumors surrounding the iPad haven’t died down since its announcement. The latest is $1 TV shows, Hulu, definitely no camera, and the FCC.

$1 TV Shows in iTunes

This one’s coming from the Financial Times and it centers on the pricing of TV shows on iTunes. According to the FT, Apple’s reported to be moving from its $1.99 standard definition/$2.99 high def pricing model for at least some of the TV shows in its iTunes repertoire, timed to coincide with the iPad’s launch. The idea would be to offer SD shows for just a single dollar as an incentive to potential iPad buyers, with the bonus that the iPad’s 4:3 ratio screen size is exactly the same as traditional standard-definition TV.
