There's no such thing anywhere on all the interfaces I use.
edit: from what I've read, the "Instant Queue" feature isn't available in Canada.

Maybe and hopefully they're going to add a cellular radio option to the next generation of MacBooks...
I would LOVE that feature, especially since sometimes I don't want to update an app right away or not at all, and when I update another app, I accidentally click the update button for the app I don't want to update.
Nice. Perhaps this is the first step in making laptops cellular-friendly before offering cellular options? One can hope. (Yes, I'm aware of tethering)
cool but I am still waiting for a scan of the barcode on gift cards so I don't have to type them in.
I would keep q backup of all of your movies somewhere. The content providers can pull any movie from iTunes whenever they want, leaving you out of ~15 bucks. Those content providers are great aren't they?
"from Purchased in iTunes" == "from the Purchased tab". Yes it could probably be worded better because it sounds odd at first glance.

Huh, interesting point, never thought of it. Thankfully I have my movies on my Mac Pro and Synology server, and Time Machine (yeah, overkill but I'm not taking any chances on 2+ TB's of films).
Amazon has a nice feature that tells you if the price has fallen since you put an item into your wish list. They don't email that to you though which is a good idea.
I can't see it though. They removed the alerts feature with iTunes 11 which was a great way of knowing when your favourite artists added new content. iTunes seems to be getting worse with every new version rather than better.
This is a win-win-win for Apple, consumers and developers. So all I can say is FINALLY.
Apple will sell more copies this way while simultaneously maintaining the limit for cellular downloads.
It will be much easier for consumers to remember to download content later while also being conscious of their cellular data limit.
And for developers (I'm assuming this will be implemented for apps later) it will increase sales because most people that want to download games (that are over the limit) 'on-the-go' forget to do so later.

Yeah it would be nice if they allow us to download apps over 50mb with cellular data. Some of us have unlimited data plans.
Yeah, like me and my Trusty Sprint Apple IPhone 5 with Unlimited 4G LTE Data to the IPhone itself but a 6 GB Data Limit to the Personal Hotspot would definitely Love to see the 50 MB Over Cellular Download Limit go away once and for all since my Parent's don't let me use their Comcast WIFI Connection. :-(

For real? That's weird!
This is great and all, but I personally think that not allowing users to download large albums/apps on LTE networks is quite dumb. There's plenty of bandwidth, but it forces you to use WiFi for anything over 50 MB. I'm almost sure there's a Jailbreak tweak to fix that, but yeah. Sad sad sad. Just my $0.02.
Yeah I hate this too. It's like they reach new bounds with speeds but is constrained by the download cap. I think it's because not all countries get unlimited plans. Here in Australia we pay $35+ per month for 2GB of data a month.
Great point, but I think it'd be a good idea for Apple to allow this on a specific carrier basis. Here in the US Sprint and TMobile are the only two carriers left that offer unlimited plans across the board, and if Apple could allow large DLs over LTE on ONLY those carriers, then that'd be great. Come on Apple!
