Because its delivered through itunes, hence from itunes.
I am also very confused due to the recent 10.1 update, how are they are going to do anything significant without making another major update
Thanks for the info! I love Hoppers work, but for some reason I had forgotten about this one!
Did you mean 27" LCD? Because 27" CD's would be an interesting twist for Apple -- especially after removing the CD from the iTunes logo.
In his blog post he says that iTunes is where you get the update. His second guess is more appletv content deals. Gruber is usually pretty spot-on, but those guesses are pretty bad.
Rainy Clouds
Cloud Based Storage is such BAD idea. The internet goes down, A LOT. We just had a 37 hour outage. All our phone company would say is, "We are having internet connectivity issues. Thank you for your patience while we work on the issue." This happens often. If my computer could only run when the internet was there I would not be able to do my work. As it is the outages are a royal pain. No they want to put my music on the net so I can only listen when the net is there? Bad idea. Bad.

Gruber says its 4.2, surely more than that !!!!
Yep, must be Hong Kong and China have the iPad, but there's no new splash on their Apple pages. 4.2 makes more of an impact for iPad users so it's not likely that is it.
It's iTunes content/store related not software I'm pretty sure of that myself.
They haven't even released 4.2 for all idevices and AFAIK there's no such feature on iOS 4.2.
Since they've got the data centre in place it has something to do with access to large amounts of data such as a cloud.
Will see tomorrow.
For people who listen to music constantly, sure. For me, not so much. I will bet anyone that I will forget the day... perhaps within minutes.
iTunes + Unforgettable news = meh
On the iTunes page of the Apple UK site it shows this picture (note no cable in view...?)
And also says:
"Improved syncing. Feed your devices, faster.
A simpler way to sync.
iTunes gives you even better ways to sync your media from your computer to your iPhone, iPad or iPod."
But isn't exactly clear on what these "better ways" are, maybe it's something that will only come to light with iOS4.2...
Yeah, but that's a bit of a reach "announcement for iOS" would make more sense if it was just 4.2, and we all know that it's coming any way.
I still think it's related to the iTunes store, and won't require any changes to the iTunes app itself.
dude you have no idea what you're talking about. the way cloud based works is iTunes scans your music library, which "unlocks" those songs to be streamed from the cloud. that way you keep the mp3 on your computer, and your phone/computer will be able to stream directly from apple's servers. Nothing forces you to delete your mp3s, and nothing prevents you from carrying the mp3 on your ipod, but cloud based makes it so you don't HAVE to have the mp anymore. It's nothing but WIN. I imagine any song purchased on itunes will be downloaded and unlocked in the cloud at the same time.
at least this was how Lala.com worked before apple bought it and shut it down.
Your downloadable music isn't going anywhere. It's an additional way to listen to your music, not a replacement.
