Tomorrow is a day ‘That You’ll Never Forget’, according to Apple. On Tuesday, November 16 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern there will be an “exciting” announcement from iTunes.
Here is the teaser Apple posted on their web site this morning.
Is this the often rumored “iTunes in the cloud” streaming service? New content deals? A subscription service? An entirely new iTunes app?
Here are some interesting things to consider about this announcement. The clocks in the teaser show London and Toyko time. This teaser is showing up on many international Apple sites including Canada, Australia, Japan, and the UK. There is no live event or keynote planned. Apple just released a software update to iTunes last week.
You would think the addition of a streaming or subscription service would require another major update to the iTunes software. Content deals are usually done on a country to country basis. If it’s new software, why update the old version last week? If the news is that big, why wouldn’t Steve be on stage? This all seems pretty strange, but luckily we don’t have to wait long to find out.
My guess is that the announcement will be the ability to access your purchased content on your iOS device without syncing, it might even involve a new mobile app from Apple.
What do you think?

Perhaps the latest iTunes update supports this new service even if they left it out of the changelog.
But still can’t wait to see what happens tomorrow!
Today is November 15th. Tuesday is the 16th.
A streaming or “cloud” service would certainly dash my hopes of getting a 64 or 128GB iPhone 5. 😛
About time they come out with some streaming… not that I’ll use it. Air Video/Streamtome <3
iOS 4.2 announcement…over the air?
That is possible, but people tend to tear these releases apart and find everything.
hopefully it is a way to sync all the apps/podcasts without synicing…. also what would be really nice is that you can say “sync” on the iphone and you can download all your apps at once instead of 1 at a time…. tedious…

Well OSx already has FaceTime application. Just need a Windows version now 🙂
If they had the Find My iPhone option free and none of the other features then I’d sign up asap
iPhone 5 with duel core 1ghz chip, 1gb ram, I almost need a towel for my drool lol
It’s wireless synch for all your iDevices. Your contacts, apps, photos, etc., all out there on Apple’s servers. No more plugging your iPhone or iPad into your computer with a USB cable to synch.
Kind of a cloud, but not for what people think. It all arrives with IOS 4.2.
It’s now pass 10. nothing.
It’s only Beatles. Nothing more.
Dude you REALLY NEED TO CHANGE this picture you look like a pedophile
What the fuck?!!!! Why would bother to insult someone in the comments of some blog?! This is how I look. Deal with it.
Hey there young lad, your mom just called and said it’s okay now for you to show your adopted, orphaned face on a Disqus profile now. Congrats, BIG BOI!
