I don't think it means what you think it means. This is just like the "Back to the Mac" phrase. Everyone thought that it means Apple will go back and talk about Macs. It will make more sense tomorrow
"Back to the Mac' is a catch phrase, as is "Think different". However, "That you'll never forget." is simply embarrassing and shameful. That is English being ripped apart with 'extreme prejudice', to coin an Apocalypticly Now phrase.
Geez, don't Apple realise that impressionable under 18s may be reading their site?
If this is the "Cloud" that is coming....how much will it cost for people that have sizeable content?
That's what I have wondered about every since it started being discussed. Nothing is free but how can me saving 150 Gigs of my iTunes on Apple's servers be affordable?
I still think those expecting to be able to put their own music into the cloud are dreaming. This will be for iTunes purchased media only.
Storage cost is irrelevant since Apple only needs to store one copy of the digital asset for millions of users, this isn't your own personal web disk...
I doubt they'll charge for bandwidth eithier. It'll either be free for all purchased content or it will come along via a MobileMe subscription.
Either way... No you are not going to be able to stream music which you ripped from a CD or downloaded from Amazon or downloaded from TPB.
Sure... I hope I'm wrong and Apple allows all this and more, but I'd put very long odds on it.
I'd also hope for something Pandora-ish... Maybe something that allows you to create stations and share them with friends via ping... Nbut again just don't see apple doing something like that which would be hard to monetize.
They're announcing that the little color stoplight buttons (minimize, maximize etc.) in iTunes will be rotated back horizontally like all other Mac applications.
We all know that it has bloated beyond what it was EVER intended for - maybe this is the announcement where they break it into pieces, with a central hub that allows you to see / navigate through the content...
Touché, I initially wrote two responses, but carelessly added a third just before submitting. You are, of course, correct.
It's a good thing I don't work for Apple Comms eh!?
If "that" implies the entire phrase "Tomorrow is just another day", it could make grammatical sense. In other words, you'll never forget that tomorrow is just another day. Not sure that's what Apple is going for, but just saying.
iTunes 10.1 just came out. iOS 4.2 is rumored to come out tomorrow. Is there something new in that combination hasn't been enabled yet, thus has thus far gone unnoticed?
I know one thing, I wish my company had the marketing clout of Apple. They spend no money at all, they just post something on their home page and people start speculating all over the place, and not just mac sites, it's on CBS news, washington post, etc.
If this is iTunes doing a Spotify, it'll be absolutely huge. And as this is specifically an iTunes announcement, I can't really see what else it could be. I absolutely love Spotify, but there's been more than a few times when something released on iTunes has failed to make it to Spotify. If the full iTunes catalogue goes streaming, I'm in.

$99.00 dollars...
OR
Free! If you are a $99.00 MobileMe subscriber!
Are the iTunes 10 team being returned to Microsoft?
Haha, that's hilarious
I hope they'll make it possible to completely disable and hide that useless thing called Ping...

It's already in the settings.
Either of these would be better:
Tomorrow is just another day...that you'll never forget.
Tomorrow is just another day, a day you'll never forget.
Tomorrow is just another day, and you'll never forget it.
"Either" implies only two options. If you're really such a stickler for grammar, you'd have said "Any of these" instead.
-because your credit card will be charged every month?

That does remove it from the sidebar but it's still visible in iTunes Store.

I wish it were cloud access to MY music - my macBook Air 11" 128 cannot hold all my music, even in AAC 320.
As for the Beatles, if you really want their derivative, undanceable, drug-addled crap, you should by the cd's. PT Barnum hearts the beatles
A day we'll never forget.

In marketing, grammar is a pliable concept. Just roll with it.
