Oh, look what we have here. Apple just updated its homepage on apple.com to include this banner, which states an exciting announcement from iTunes is coming tomorrow at 7 AM PST. Tomorrow is just another day. That youll never forget thats quite a thing to write up on Apples homepage.
We know that iOS 4.2 should drop tomorrow at 10 AM PST, and we know that iPhone and iPad users will be able to download the software update using iTunes. Will Apple change the system underlying the whole software update process? But then again, how would that be something well never forget? It definitely must be something else than iOS 4.2-related rumors.
What comes to mind if the long-awaited iTunes in the cloud, based on that huge data center Apple is building in North Carolina. Apple could deploy a cloud-based sync and streaming solution for apps and media, or the rumored iTunes subscription service for music. The possibilities are really endless, and its just up to Apple and how much theyre willing to deploy in the first version of the new iTunes. What were sure of is, Steve Jobs doesnt hype something so much unless its totally revolutionary and breakthrough. So the cloud would be, in my opinion, the most plausible answer.
Well check back tomorrow at 7 AM PST. Is there going to be a live streaming of the announcement, anyway? Or just text and screenshots? Well keep you posted as we find out more.
Update: more speculation here.
