ITunes 11 Download Will Be Available Tomorrow

That "article" is shit. It has no information on it at all.

I found Apple's web-site a little useful: http://www.apple.com/itunes/new-itunes/

The new iTunes looks terrible. It looks like they are Metro-fying the UI (i.e. removing all of the productive bits and then claiming the simplicity is a good trade-off).

Having both an iPhone 4 and an iPad 3 as well as a Macbook Air and a fat iPod Nano (best thing ever), I found it interesting that from all those keynotes we had this year, knowing iTunes would get reimagined got me much more excited than everything else they announced. I feel like we have peaked on those technologies as for most people (like myself) everything is just good enough.

In more detail, I feel like the iPhone 4 (until I updated it to iOS 6) was fast enough that I didn't feel like buying a new one. The iPad 3 got the retina display which is just amazing to read. It could be lighter but, for its use, it's good enough for me not to want a new one. (I will eventually buy an iPad Mini once it gets retina though.) My Macbook Air is still incredible fast and I don't think going retina now is necessary thus saving me some money. Finally, there was never an iPod like the fat Nano. I could get more storage but it still works perfectly.

My birthday was last week and I usually buy a gift for myself but this year it felt like everything is just fine and I don't need anything else in my life. Good times I guess.

I've found myself slowly slipping away from iTunes to manage my library and I'm not seeing anything that's really going to hold me for much longer.

It's a shame as I remember being excited when I started using iTunes way-back-when.
