But yeah, itunes on the cloud, but only if you have mobile me.

Aslong as my new MacBook Air isn't suddenly out of date I'll be happy!

My guess is over the air wireless sync for all the iOS devices.

Hotfix for the iOS time bug I reckon.

Nah

that's possibly been pushed back to nearer the end of the months, no problems here though on 3.1.3

theheyes · 15 Nov 2010 at 17:39

Yeah, I was being a bit (wholly) sarcastic.

Although to be fair I don't have the problem either.

They usually slip a clue in the wording for these sorts of things, so yeah, probably some sort of cloud based sync/streaming so you no longer have to faff around with iTunes and your iOS devices. It will be one of those features you wonder how you did without a few months down the line.

Of course I could be wrong and they actually surprise me.

lol fair one. Wonder if it will be competetively priced to compete with spotify.

I'm hoping for a subscription based iTunes service, but I'm hoping for a lot there I think

A Zune pass like model, with the rest of your purchased library also available streamed from cloud storage to all iOS devices, along with a Windows and Mac client, would be fantastic.

That is what would have me using iTunes more. Because I actually don't mind iTunes, it has some good prices, it is fairly easy to use and good integration with my devices.

More devices using AirPlay? Didnt they add more functionality into 10.1?

ps3ud0 :cool:

Would love this and a subscription based iTunes service.
