+Frank B. Subscriber² Posted November 15, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted November 15, 2010 Apple says tomorrow is 'just another day that you'll never forget,' teases iTunes announcement Whoa, what's this? Apple just updated its homepage with a new splash screen teasing an "exciting announcement from iTunes" at 10AM ET tomorrow, saying that "Tomorrow is just another day. That you'll never forget." All streaming subscription service based out of that North Carolina data center? More video content in the store? Apps for the Apple TV with the iOS 4.2 update? Whatever it is, we're digging for more, and we'll let you know as soon as we find out. Source: Engadget Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The subscription services thing is getting old for me, i'm tired of seeing companies wanting automatic payments each month. I'd much rather pay for what i want when i want it.

instant.human Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 As far as I remember they never had the different timezones in their announcements directly, right? It looks quite big. This is going to be a nice week - Facebook announcement tonight, iTunes tomorrow... Looking forward to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Hammond Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Why cant they just do what everyone else does and put out a press release instead of staging stupid press events for something so ridiculously minor like new itunes crap or notebook speed bumps, Apple really gets on my ######.

Something about iOS 4.2 One more thing... something about splitting/renaming iTunes into individual applications for Books/Apps/Movies/Music and TV. /win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd much rather pay for what i want when i want it. I think it depends really. If you use something quite often, then a subscription would easily save you money. With netflix in the US, you are talking about $9 for pretty much unlimited streaming of films. How much are films to rent on iTunes? Watching just one a week would take you over the subscription price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Neo Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 That would be nice.... but I'd take iTunes over WMP any day Windows Media Player doesn't run on Mac OS X. So that isn't an option for me in the first place. But yeah, I prefer iTunes as well. I'm just talking about its performance compared to other Mac OS X applications.

Elliott Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 I'm sure it's not a new major iTunes version. I'm hoping it's the launch of a subscription service, but...it's probably just the announcement of 90 second song previews. :laugh: Why cant they just do what everyone else does and put out a press release instead of staging stupid press events for something so ridiculously minor like new itunes crap or notebook speed bumps, Apple really gets on my ######. This isn't a press event. It's just an unveiling on their site. They're just building up some hype, which isn't a bad idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mohitster Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 i hope they are not buying out Sony or something!! (Something kinda we heard some days back on Neowin)..... And it very well could be about a big merger - as predicted by lot of pundits in the last two months or so - since they have a lot of cash in hand........

instant.human Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 iTunes needs to be updated to cocoa and 64bits ASAP (especially for people with very large libraries) And that that is not the case yet is, IMHO, the only thing that sucks with iTunes...

Leonick Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 How about an iTunes version that doesn't suck perhaps? Nah... Well, it doesn't really suck now does it? Sure it's performance could be better but it's still on of the best media players. Seriously think a little, i know you can think of a lot worse media players Why cant they just do what everyone else does and put out a press release instead of staging stupid press events for something so ridiculously minor like new itunes crap or notebook speed bumps, Apple really gets on my ######. As has been said good PR, also, seems like people like watching their events for big announcements they don't do it for anything like as you said a small notebook speed bump. Frankly I'd like to see more companies do press events for their new product and demo them. If you don't like their press events don't watch them, you can read all the news as if it were a normal press release the day after on any tech site :) as for this announcement, hmmm, from iTunes, some kind of streaming service maybe... this might be interesting... or turn out to be very underwhelming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
