Let's re-name iTunes...
I think it's about time to decease the iTunes name. Video clips aren't "tunes", and it would be better to just have a place where all media was together. Kind of like a "mother" application from Apple.
But, it would be hard to find a name to keep the same feel to the brand.
I have been thinking, as well as just a rename, what about a complete restructure of the framework? A place where all music, movies, tv shows, photos are stored on servers. (But that would be way in the future because we would need to rely on wi-fi clouds.) No need for hard drives, then. Just flash memory for streaming, and online playlists etc.
Post your names, everyone!
Mine:
"Eve" - too feminine?

That's like saying let's rename the Eiffel Tower, it wont work. However if you said: Why doesn't apple rename iTunes? Or: Will apple rename iTunes? Now that would be different matter. Still don't think it will happen any time soon though.

What the christ is wrong with you for thinking that.
Maybe iMedia?
It really doesn't need to be changed. Maybe if and when movies are offered. Even then they could make another store called the iMovie Store
Just playin'.
If you build a brand that is recognized all over the world, you don't change the name of that brand.
If your brand is dominant in its market you definitely don't change the name.
You can alter the name to distinguish product lines, iPod mini, iPod nano, iPod video. But you don't change the name.
If you have a great product but a bad brand name, then you can change the name to give the product a new marketing life.
MWUAHAHHA
Son I propose we start somewhat further down the ladder. Introducing:
iMoses? - You heard it here first.
iMoses? - You heard it here first.

You're joking right? iTunes Music Store is second only to amazon.com as the most visited internet shopping site in the world.

Uh huh. Well Records is a generic term for a music track, it's not specifically related to vinyl. Vinyl is vinyl, CDs are CDs, but records can be both. If you want to get picky...
Records has only become a generic term since the introduction of Cd's. Before Cd's existed, records meant physical vinyl records. The definition has morphed over time.
