Apple Eager for iPhone, AppleTV

Talk about the coming iPhone and AppleTV device dominated discussion with the chief financial officer of Apple at an investment conference here this week. Peter Oppenheimer, appearing at the Morgan Stanley Technology Conference, declined to give specific unit sales forecasts for the new products but anticipated they will be strong.

It is a set-top box that delivers digital content stored on a computer, including video purchased from Apple's iTunes online store, to a TV. However, the usefulness of the AppleTV may be tied to the amount of video content available on iTunes.

He said Apple recently reached agreements with film distributors Paramount Pictures and Lion's Gate Entertainment to sell downloads of their movies on iTunes.
