Just downloaded and about to restart. So freaking excited!!! I wonder if iPod nano is in the Apple Stores right now. There's one down the street from my school...

 

[mac-er]

No more brushed metal.

Guess its plastic for everything now.

 

[Cougarcat]

Yes yes yes! Nested folders! I've waited eons for this.

 

[Flux Harmonic]

The installer is broooooooooken.

"Please quit iTunes before beginning this update."

Over, and over, and over.....

 

[atakordie]

YES! Been waiting awhile to sync via windows as well. And the folders. Awesome.

[FoxyKaye]

Yes yes yes! Nested folders! I've waited eons for this.

Thank goodness - I've got so many playlists they just keep scrolling and scrolling.

I love the new look, it's sexy.

 

[Lacero]

Will install now. This is so nice. New hardware and new software. I will be celebrating today by not working.

 

[ColoJohnBoy]

Beautiful. Couldn't be happier.

 

[mac-er]

Wonder how long it will be before the other iLife apps, Safari, and the Finder become plasticized as well.

 

[GroundLoop]

Well, I am downoading it now. Pretty excited about the new folder options. Especially excited about getting my Nano. Hopefully it will be shipped by the end of the week.

I agree. It'll take a while before I get used to it...

 

[EGT]

Plastic like Mail 2.0? I like the brushed iTunes interface!

Like the sound of smart shuffle though.

 

[Daveway]

Apple has answered my plea!

Finally we have support for lyric syncing.

 

[MattG]

Has anyone else noticed that Quicktime 7.0 (final) for Windows is now available?

Does anyone know why this is happening? Is it karma? I've been a good boy lately...
