Apple may want to sell HD movies, but its not gonna happen any time soon.

Studios arent even releasing DVD quality movies for download, are they going to suddenly be releasing HD-spec movies for download? So that in 3 months the deDRM program gets on the net so that people can start distributng the movies theyve downloaded?

And, the HD downloads would be most likely be the same or more expensive and definitely more restricted than the HD-DVD/BD counterparts.

HD-DVD and BD is all about control over content; downloading doesnt give studios that control.
