Downloading 3.1 and iTunes 9.... going to take forever... sharing 40MB line with 700 students... woo hoo. 
It doesn't matter, most earphones still run a 32-bit EFI and max out at 8GB of RAM.
Is that everything ? I don't see anything that would make me update, except of the possibility of only being able to download Madden with 3.1
it seems to be going faster now.. i finished downloading both 3.1 and itunes9.. installing em now :]
One word: COCOA!
Come on man. Do you really need to do that? iTunes needs to be re-written in Cocoa (like the Finder was in Snow Leopard). Get with it man.
well since the UI is different (and much uglier) it's obvious at a glance that it's not cocoa.
EDIT: and they could have made it 32bit cocoa and it would have the same advantages. 64bit means absolutely nothing for iTunes. A 32bit version would make more sense anyway, since they run the same version of iTunes across multiple OS 10s, so for backward compatibility's sake a 32bit cocoa version would be best.
Weird: When I downloaded 3.1, I got the following notes:
* Improved syncing for music, movies, TV shows, podcasts, and photos1

* Option to "Save as new clip" when trimming a video on iPhone 3GS
* Better iPhone 3G Wi-Fi performance when Bluetooth is turned on

* Use Voice Control on iPhone 3GS with Bluetooth headsets
* Paste phone numbers into the keypad
* Option to use Home button to turn on accessibility features on iPhone 3GS

Ok, iTunes9 and iPhone OS3.1 installed on 3GS ...
Initial impressions ..... not great
- Scrolling in podcast list is almost slide-show like
- Some podcast episodes are in random order rather than chronological
- Opening/Closing cross-fade is jerky
- Chirp sound (plugging in) sometimes misses, sometimes cuts out
- WiFi feels better though
iTunes 9 overall is a much improved app on the plus side....
