It's not, he's simply saying that it's far easier to handle music than it is a detailed map of the world, WITH competition

Not really. iTunes still is the center of Apple's ecosystem. It is more important than any mac pro, or any computer ever made.
Riiight, so a computer that you need to get to the eco system in the first place is less important? Okay!
You've got the computer. Do you have iTunes to get to the system? If not, you can't get to it.
things are starting to get a bit off topic. anyhow, I know I might be going for the long shot, but do you guys think that iTunes 11's late release might be slightly related to the executive shakeup of Scott Forstall and John Browett?
I haven't seen this mentioned yet, but what if iTunes 11 is released at midnight Eastern tonight? Tuesdays are always the big music/movie release days, and correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure iTunes updates/lists all of Tuesday's big new music/movie releases at midnight Eastern on Monday night (technically 12:01 AM Tuesday). Since one of iTunes 11's big updates is the more-integrated store, wouldn't it make sense to update the app in conjunction with the release of all the new media for the week? Granted, I realize that releasing a software update at midnight eastern (9 PM Pacific) would be fairly unconventional, but it's definitely an option. Otherwise, I'm guess we'll see it at 10 AM Pacific tomorrow as rumored...
10am PST / (6pm GMT for me
you forget that daylight savings havent come into play everywhere yet... 5pm tomorrow, my friend
I cant find any iTunes releases that occured on a Tuesday? They have all been Monday, Wednesday or Thursday! We will see it on Wednesday than otherwise its delayed
It's been known for a while now that iTunes has been delayed. It's been all over Twitter. They are just doing anther iTunes Music Match and just keeping silent. We wont see the New iTunes until next year.
There is nothing on Twitter that says it has been delayed. Its only delayed if November 1st comes and there is no update.

This got delayed and they mention iTunes 11
I know we still got 2 days to know for sure but things dont seem promising.

Not that iTunes is the center of Apple, cause it's not. But if you think that iTunes Store sells millions of album tracks per day just in the US, it's probably one of their most important softwares. And I'm not even talking about tv shows, movies and apps... the pressure to make no mistakes must be strong. That being said, delays are expected. But I still think they are going to drop it in October... iTunes updates are usually released without even being announced, and Apple keeps the 'coming in October' banner so until november there's no "real" delay. PS: I think they would know by now (there's only 2 days left in October) and at least remove that banner, imo.
I just hope all of a sudden the orange banner doesnt change to "coming soon" or "coming in november"

Oh, please. Apple has made tons of mistakes with iTunes over the years. The idea that they are all of a sudden handling it with white gloves and walking on eggshells is a figment of imagination.

you would think if they know they arent going to make the deadline - and they would know by now one way or another - that they would make the announcement asap instead of looking like some procrastinator and changing it at the stroke of midnight on the 31st
well some iTunes update better be coming to support ipad mini and ipad 4 weither thats 10.7.1 or 11 is yet to be determined..
Back in the day they didn't have Amazon MP3, Google Music and other major online stores as competition so they could make mistakes without losing customers. Today they already have less market in the total digital sales than they did in the past [Even though they sell more]. I mean, when was the last time the store went down? I remember that 2007-2010 they had a lot of trouble, like when Britney Spears released Womanizer and broke records it went down. But today Taylor Swift breaks records without putting it down. They improved, fact. And they can't go back cause Google and Amazon are on their asses waiting for mistakes.
