iTunes says It's Showtime

No Showtime for Straya.

Aussie iTMS just showing the "The Store is Busy" dialogue. No splash page, just a little box.

Fully agree! If this is an update to globally release movies and tv shows all I have to say is FINALLY

If it's not... Apple are letting down anyone outside America once again with another America-centered update :/

Yeah, it's a real bad business model really in that sense,.

Yeah. I am off to bed for 4 hours. iTunes will just be frustrating given its not going to be for us I think. Maybe there will be some juciy hardware in 4 hours or so.
 
I am using my windows machine at work, when trying to check whether iTunes is up to date an error is displayed, saying, that the iTunes cannot connect to the server.

This means iTunes 7 is coming very soon

To be honest I don't care about the bitrate of audio tracks..

However if they brought American TV shows onto a global release date (ie we get them the same time as they do) - THEN i'd care about the update.

Anything else is just more clutter..

Don't be to hopeful... most of our (US) tv is crap. I'd rather watch BBC.

No, we will be able to watch it from Apple's website later in the day. Macrumorslive will be providing live text updates.

Weird redirections

I've been getting some weird redirections at the Australian Apple Store...

Just remembered that of course the Apple Store itself will be down at some stage tonight, so I checked it out. But instead I was redirected to the UK education store page. I tried re-entering the address several times but kept getting redirected to different parts of the UK store.

It's back to normal now, but very odd behaviour nonetheless.

And the Australian iTunes Store is also showing the black screen now. :)
 
Film content from Fox and Dreamworks?!

Look at the german Quicktime page, bottom left, under "iTunes Videos": Transporter 2 from Fox and Red Eye from Dreamworks!!

I think part of this announcement has to do with Leopard. There is a phone and/or media center device in our futures, and of course it will be very tightly integrated with OSX. Part of why OSX new features are top secret is because it is intimately involved with what will be announced here. With this product out of the bag, they can finally spill some stuff they've been holding back about Leopard. I'd expect a new Leopard seed out soon.

Note Leopard hasn't been sent to the general seeding developer community yet? They must have a build in the wings.

Note not a word on changes in Leopard Front Row, iTunes, Finder? These things are in the wings.

At showtime, things in the wings come out on stage.
