I checked iTMS US this morning hoping to see the new U2 CD in the "Exclusives" section, but it's not there. Either you'll have to buy the special U2 iPod to get it early, or iTMS isn't adding it until the new countries are added later.

Also, no Software Update this morning.

That's OK, Diego -- our cynicism saved us from getting our hopes up. 🙂

Now, however, you're the boy who cried "Wolf!" -- if you want to have more fun in the future, you'll have to post your Photoshop masterpieces under a different user name. 😀

A couple of sites here in Sweden (that's northern europe 😉 have been selling music at SEK 15:00 (that's about USD 2:00) per song.
Yesterday both cdon.se and aftonbladet.se set their price to SEK 9.90 (a bit more than USD 1:00).
Coincidence?

Kill those cdon-guys. They're supposed to make a Norwegian download-service together with MSN Music by the end of this month, so I really hope iTMS comes today and kicks the crap out of them! 😡
 
These iTunes and iPod rumours are really boring - I wan't to hear about Apple Computers. But I suppose I shouldn't complain too much as the iPod is keeping Apple alive.
 
Something is coming...

I can't access the Music Store at all. I used to be able to search and listen to the previews, but nothing loads now. Also, I can't access the Apple Japan wed page or the Japan Apple Store on-line.

I hope this means what i think it means...

I hope you haven't been told not to disclose anything yet.

Also, I see this is your first post. You do know if you are posting from an Apple site, Apple will probably be able to figure out who you are. Good luck either keeping your contacts or your job.

At almost 8 a.m. CT in the US: if you click on "Choose a store" you still get the same four international stores.

iTuningMan, either a great Hoax or one of the best "updates" i have seen on the site.

Wonderful either way and I hope you don't loose your job over this.

Dude... it's only 6am in San Jose... it don't start for another four hours.

ps I have to be skeptical. I'm in Australia - I don't want you to be right.

edit: in my time on MacRumours, I've not heard of Apple pre-announcing anything to staff in the way you suggest has happened.

yepp, same here - living in Switzerland. They've been saying the iTMS would be coming "very soon" for almost two years now - I'd be very disappointed if they wouldn't launch one for Switzerland tonight 🙁
