Disney bypasses iTunes
While Disney has decided to the support the iPod, Mac users are again out in the cold. Circumventing the iTunes-iPod system, Walt Disney Co will let consumers watch full-screen video directly on PCs and the new Apple video iPods starting with its upcoming movie release, "Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe." Macworld UK reports that while Mac users can watch the clips online using QuickTime, and can watch/listen to a variety of Disney podcasts, some video clips use software which will let users automatically download and synchronize trailers and clips directly to video-enabled iPods, according to DM News.

Yeah
I'm sure an iPod firmware update will disable that somehow, to force them to go through iTunes.
