An Apple spokesperson says iTunes 11 will be late and should ship by the end of November, according to a report from CNET. The software had been expected by the end of October.

This follows recent analysis of Apple's recent executive reorganization moves suggesting that the company had been burned by schedule-driven software releases recently, and could move to a more ship-when-it's-done strategy.
"The new iTunes is taking longer than expected and we wanted to take a little extra time to get it right," Apple spokesman Tom Neumayr told CNET. "We look forward to releasing this new version of iTunes with its dramatically simpler and cleaner interface, and seamless integration with iCloud before the end of November."

iTunes 11 is expected to bring a complete overhaul to the user interface of the iTunes app itself and the iTunes Store.

Darn.

Oh well, I guess it's good that they're actually telling us instead of just not saying anything for a month until they finally release it. I can wait. :)

Ha. Who cares.

Hope this new iTunes is slick and fast, the worst thing about the current one is it's quite slow to open and do stuff in!

iTunes has never been slick and fast, and it never will. Apple does not know how to make software.

Dramatically simpler and cleaner interface. Just like iOS, that means less control for the end user. Enjoy, children.

I'd much rather wait and have it stable instead of it being released early and being unusable due to bugs.

Interesting that they haven't removed the reference to October from the site yet.

On another note, this doesn't exactly reflect the "ship on time vs. ship when ready" discussion we've been hearing over the past few days. Perhaps we are seeing a reversal back to "ship when ready".
