Yeah!
Why they haven't used this image instead of that blue for logo?!
Using this one would illustrate better iTunes' speed........

Still waiting for this download!!!!
So far I'm not liking this new icon, traffic lights or volume controls. OR the grey playlists... But hey I remember I didn't like the Quicktime X icon, now it's grown on me. A little!
Ping sounds quite good... but.... I like Country Music and don't know many, if anyone that also does over here...
Still, c'mon download!

I would think that it's obvious. THAT is the new direction for the next major version of the OS. 10.7 will clearly switch to vertical buttons on all the windows. Don't question whether it makes sense or not (clearly it does not for a horizontal window pane), but I'm guessing like the vertical dock option, the next OS will have an option for a vertical menu pane. What? It'd be hard to read? Pshaw! Little graphic icons will replace any English words in the future of Mac so that mac users don't need to be able to read!
I bet something's wrong with the new iTunes 10, and now Apple's army of engineers are debuggggPing it

Was thinking the same thing.
They are probably waiting for the iTunes setup files to propagate to all their mirrors worldwide so the mad rush to download doesn't break their servers
Microsoft did that whenever they seeded a new build of Win7 and Vista when I was beta testing those.

This. Social networking crap has gotten out of control, now they're trying to put it in my media player. For me, Ping is a completely ridiculous and unnecessary addition to iTunes. What a disappointment...
Well, give it a month or two, and Apple marketing will pull some nobody out of their hat, that has sold millions of copies of his song thanks to PING.
Just think about the feature - used GarageBand to create the song, put it up on iTunes and then all of a sudden, thanks to PING, it's the new record selling one-hit-wonder.

nah i think their servers are getting a hammering from people refreshing the download page lol. it started to go up then it changed.

Makes sense to me
That would be cool.Well, give it a month or two, and Apple marketing will pull some nobody out of their hat, that has sold millions of copies of his song thanks to PING.

I guess I should really try to keep an open mind. ;^_^
Thats the same exact size as the linked 9.2.1 download
Did wonder if it might be an old graphic or a coincidence. Guess we will see before too long . . . .

If so, then I gotta start learning to play some instrument or some sort of music soon, so I can actually use the GarageBand and then Ping, so I can make loads of $$$ overnight, thanks to Ping!
But first, I have to install iTunes10 I guess.....
Btw, is the Windows version of iTunes 10 available to download already?

You may have been kidding, but this is a real possibility. Everyone moaning about social integration in iTunes, needs to understand that social networking is merely a tool for marketing. Someone mentioned the social aspects of last.fm, well guess what? That exists to sell music. iTunes IS the biggest online reseller of music, and it would be stupid not to integrate something like this into their service. More people checking out new music means more people buying songs, which means more music companies making money.
These experiments are usually a good way of telling upcoming UI changed for the next version of OS X (or sometimes even the version after the last).
