It's probably just me..
I can't seem to download any apps from iTunes right now. I put in my password, thinks for a max of 15 seconds, and then shoots back with:"Could Not Sign In / An unknown error has occurred."
On my brand new MBA, it says "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error has occurred (5002). There was and error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later."
Came here too if others had the same issue, then saw this. Could be related, no?
Edit: @Weegiemac beat me by 2 min...

It's not going to be, Apple's gonna blow past their second self-imposed deadline, then they'll change the "November" tab to "Coming in 2013!"
No, if it was a matter of network speed and processing power, iPad and iPhone would easily outperform the ATV. I agree it probably has to do with caching, but then this caching is done wrong - interestingly, the Remote app on the iDevices works fast and flawlessly, and I don't see why home sharing cannot work the same way. As I said, they obviously got it right for the ATV.
I think it has to do with ATV being connected to the AC and iOS devices running on battery power. Could be that CPU is simply not utilized fully to save power. Or it could be just bad coding.
An mp3 player holding over 120gb of music and gb of album art using up only 200mb of RAM is the definition of optimization. (at the moment, checked, it's 170mb if you disable album art, so that's its base ram value, which is terrific)
I have Sparrow idling using up 120mb of RAM, and Preview open with two 3mb pictures, using up 281mb of RAM somehow.
How a few hundred megabytes of RAM for a robust media app can be considered bloated is beyond me.
Sadly, far too many people have the assumption that none of things they have not liked from Apple over the past year would have happened with Steve around. In all reality, I am guessing nothing much is different with the company than he had planned this past year. It's a cheap excuse.
Maybe Fiji is not their reference????? Greetings at 9.30 from Germany (meaning on Hawaii its still wednesday)
It's 6.30pm here in Australia. The Apple store in Brisbane "Carindale" commented while i was at their store yesterday "New iTunes and iMac products coming Friday". This will be on par to the Thursday USA release time and date.
The Wall Street Journal is occasionally used as a pre-release mouthpiece for Apple. You can bet they confirmed it before publishing the article.
No we're not. It's a retarded thing to say about something that's been delayed a month, hasn't come out yet and has only two more days left before they have to change the graphic to "Coming in December."
Coming "as Soon as Thursday" would have been appropriate if they were talking about the last Thursday of September. "As Late as Thursday" would be more appropriate.
I'm from Australia and you should know by now that every apple product release date is +1 here in Australia. It has always been that way. It's Thursday US time.

It's more of a reference saying look we have a release date confirmed and "it is as early as Thursday"
In hindsight, that's the last thing they should have done.
What if the re-engineering they did was because they discovered a bug that corrupted music files? It was a beta, so of course you would have had frequent backups. Anyone who didn't would have totally deserved to lose their music files. But it would have been a minor annoyance listening to them gripe.
Best to wait until it's ready, to save the annoyance of listening to users gripe that the beta destroyed their music collection.

Imaginary Steve Jobs will do or say whatever you want him to. Nothing bad ever happened or would have happened under Imaginary Steve Jobs.
Nested smartplaylists don't update so this is useless for me.
Still looking forward to the update however.
I'm guessing this won't be out for Windows. Not that I care as I have a Mac at home but wouldn't mind playing with it at work.
OS X (first one) was released on deadline but was very buggy and problematic (according to all reviewers).
