iTunes in need of rebranding?

[mrsir2009]

Hi guys Does anyone else think that iTunes might be in need of rebranding? Because now, in addition to music and iPod manager it does Movies, TV Shows, App Store for iOS and general all round iOS managing. I think it should either be rebranded, or, better yet, split off into two different apps: iTunes for media and iOS Manager for iOS managing.

What do you guys think?

they have the number 1 media software in the world with a huge amoutn of brand recognition. Changing the name would be counter productive. I see a bit more reason to do so witht he app store, but thats mac only, and they won't want to dilute the branding by having it be different on mac and windows.

Same for breaking it into separate applications. They know everyone already uses iTunes, why make someone go to a different application to get their movies and apps, especially since it all works in a very similar fashion. Again, counter productive.

I don't think rebranding accomplishes much from apple's point of view.

Definitely seems like a trend another user has pointed out.

10 bucks says "iTunes" is changed to "Music", "App Store", or "iTunes Store" in next 1-2 years. It's days are clearly numbered.

Yeh I totally agree. Time to split iTunes into an App Store and device manager (iOS and Mac combined) and just have iTunes to play music in a nice interface. Call it Music like on iOS.

It's funny how we've gone from english words, to brand names and now back to english words for app names
