Could it be that they hit the download target? Hope so!
I think they will hit their target. Hopefully they’ll rub it in the faces of those who doubted them.
I’m hoping for an announcement on exactly when iTMS will be available in Europe.
CANADA!
NO, EUROPE!
I wonder if they can ring me in on that call.

I’m guessing somewhere around 70million tracks sold. As of the last info release, they were selling an average of 2.5million per week. At this rate, next year will easily hit the 100million mark.
Zimbabwe!
(I just like saying that)
Would be grrreat to hear 100 million downloads and ITMS Worldwide combined. An update for iTunes where you can cross fade songs burned to a CD would also be nice to hear.
iSteveMusicStore, Worldwide…? And ho! By the way tell the world that you have a Bloatware-Music-player-Killer!

We’ll learn how well the Pepsi promotion did. I suspect tomorrow we’ll see some new iPods introduced prior to the non-webcast conference call. SJ will also answer questions about European stores (there will not be one but several – a store accessible from the Apple site in Germany, England and France). Each country has their own favorite artists and they in turn have different label affiliations, royalty deals, use taxes, etc.
It’s funny� People are jumping on the Download Music bandwagon (so to speak). What they don’t realize is that if Apple DOES hit the 100 Million mark, they have ONLY MADE approximately $10 for their work. Probably less. Take away bandwidth prices and advertising costs and there is little to no profit what-so-ever.

I hope he addresses the problem of higher fees by record companies (the 2.49 per song idea). Probably it will just be a lovefest, however.
Edit above… They will only make approx. 10MILLION for their work.
Watch out for the One More Thing…
Mars!
70-75 Million Sold + 30-40 Million from Pepsi.
Jamaica.
No she went of her own accord.
Got to admit it is amazing how there is such a lack of interesting news regarding Apple computers…
It�s a good thing that intel and amd are having their own problems budging above the 3Ghz processor level…cause Apple would even be looking worse than it is with its continuing processor woes.
Hhhhhmmmmmm, they announce this 2 days beforehand? I, for one, don’t think anything significant won’t be announced. Don’t they like to have a big party with everyone invited if something big will happen, IE iTunes for Winblows?
I don’t think much’ll happen, but Steve always has something up his sleeve and I’m hoping that I’m wrong.
eh i wish they would wait a few days for all the sales to come in..the pepsi thing was an irritating mess…
supposedly, pepsi bought 100 mil. song from apple…and apple is only counting the songs that the public paid for…ie. if they got hooked into itunes and bought 12-20 more.. then it works
I was just thinking.. this steve jobs guy is such a good speaker man..
you know what.. he’s gonna find a way to make the music store look like an incredible success, even if they don’t hit the target..
how?
probably by touting marketshare and ipod sales and comparing the itunes store to competitors..
i fuckin’ resent how guys like thurrott thinks is failure that apple had such incredible aspirations (100mil in first year) and missed slightly.. that kind of goal is exactly what apple needs to do to be a success.. i think it’s admirable.
I hope he adds an ecosystem to the iPod -a phase button would be nice too!
