iTunes 8 online but pulled again ...

[bushido]

An unusual report late Sunday has multiple users claiming that Apple unintentionally, if briefly, posted a pre-release copy of iTunes 8.

Others claim to have noticed the download as well, but in most cases the file in question is said to have already disappeared.

If legitimate, what new features are in the software aren't being revealed: one user who claims to have successfully grabbed the update not only notes that the build appeared to be an unfinished release candidate but that he's concerned about repercussions.

Hmmm I say it is fake because hasn't the Itouch had the app store for as long as the phone has? Why would it be coming now?

That advert/image you are referring to is currently on the apple page http://www.apple.com/itunes/

The OP missed out a vital part of the opening of the appleinsider article which states

The few allegedly lucky visitors to Apple's iTunes page at the right time on Sunday say they noticed an out-of-place "Download Now" button in the middle of the page which, if clicked, linked to a download for iTunes 8.0 rather than the publicly available 7.7.

So the background image is real it is the download link that is subject to this rumour/leak.

Okay, guess I should have been paying more attention. My bad.
