Video entertainment was the one that got away from Apple, but recent moves reveal the company is taking a second stab at the category, and that streaming video will play a major role.

The addition of video cameras to Apples latest iPhone and iPod Nano were just the first hints of the companys new personal-media strategy. The company is also building a 500,000 square-foot data center in North Carolina, which could provide the massive bandwidth required for ubiquitous streaming video.

Lost in the madness of Black Friday was news of the latest contender: an upgraded version of LaCies LaCinema HD unit.
