However, Apple has had no problem deviating from the standard rental methods when you consider situations like the 30 day/24 hour rule. I don't see why they couldn't allow this. It honestly doesn't cost them anything since I doubt the system would allow one to rent the same movie 2 times for 2 copies on the same account. Since they're pretty much out of the process when the movie is downloaded from them, why not let people have a little more view time and keep it in more than one place during that time? I think it would actually help stimulate rentals by further differentiating the rental experience from Blockbuster or Netflix.

I think Apple is just trying to force me into getting an iPhone. :) I’m just annoyed that apparently movie rental isn’t compatible with any of the iPods other than the newest generation.
