Whatever is new, it caused my iTunes to upgrade it's library for about a minute before I could do anything in iTunes.
Haven't noticed anything new yet.

Interesting.
It appears Apple has learned from the iPhone 2.0 + MobileMe + (was it OS 10.5.4?) multi headed update fiasco last year. Maybe this time they're breaking things up so their servers don't get pounded to death.
Rolling out iTunes a week before WWDC might indicate 3.0 will be ready for a public launch at WWDC - along with the updated iPhone.
I said "might."

This is because it is a key framework used by so many apps. The same is true for Webkit. It's the safest way to keep everything running smoothly (and prevent apps trying to load old versions which don't exist and throwing weird errors).

It certainly looks that way, which is good news if that's the case.
This week iTunes 8.2.
Next week WWDC + iPhone OS 3.0.
The future... who knows
Well beta 5 expires 10 days after WWDC.
I think 3.0 is going to be released to the public at WWDC.
What's wrong with 8.1.1?
Yes, it was 10.5.4, which was required for MobileMe so it should have been released first.

Good call.
I can confirm that like b10 you cannot add custom ipcc files. They're not selectable.
Blu Ray
I just noticed in the about dialog for iTunes 8.2, it lists Blu Ray discs in it's legal jargon. Did I miss something in an earlier release or is this new as of 8.2? Do we have some form of Blu Ray support now?

This text first appeared in the beta of 8.2 (30-4-2009) but so far nobody ever confirmed it to be functional/work, at least not to my knowledge.
So will there be an iTunes 8.2.1 update next week that includes all the iPhone next-generation icons and plists?
Or are they in this binary, ready to be pilfered?
Or maybe Apple changed how things work for syncing, and the icon is now provided by the device as part of the USB plugging in action. This would also break the Palm Pre's implementation just before the Pre's launch...

bump
I've owned my iPhone for about 2 weeks and have had it jailbroken for one.. the last thing I want to do is to eff up this bad boy, Thanks much!
My iPhone 3G continues to work perfectly fine (on T-mobile), but mine is officially unlocked.
hummmm this is in the iPhone License agreement
"Apple would provide you with any iPhone OS software updates it might release up to and including the iPhone 3.x software release. Such updates and releases may not necessarily include all of the new software features that Apple releases for newer iPhone models."
I guess that means there will be a new iPhone for all those people that say no there wont

If you have a 2nd-gen iPod Shuffle, iTunes 8.1.x completely lobotomises support for it.
Upgrade collisions
I'm sure that Apple remembers what happened last summer with the iPhone 3G came out. Everyone activated their phone and tried to upgrade to the 2.0 software at the same time. That left a lot of folks with temporarily bricked phones when the new software couldn't authorize the phone.
I'm sure that there will be a staged rollout this year, with either the new phones going first (likely) or the 3.0 software being rolled out to existing users first (less likely for PR reasons).

OH MY GOD.... Apple fixed the annoyingly massive delay when switching to 'Applications' in the source menu.
Now I don't get annoyed every single time I click it. Good stuff (although it never should have lasted that long anyway).
By the way, why are we now bolding the first lines of our posts?
