lol an ecosystem!!!
Damn. In Canada it is legal to d/l music from limewire/Kazza etc. This must piss Steve off that he can’t clear the regulatory hurdles to actually sell it here.
Socialist gov’t. VOTE CONSERVATIVE THIS TIME ROUND!!!! They are there for enterprising companies like Apple. Sorry for the off topic post!
whadda mean jayplus, there is already itunes for windows.
There will be no “And One More Thing”. This is a conference call with analysts and reporters to discuss the first year of iTMS. The press won’t be physically in attendance as “conference call” means telephone questions asked of Apple by participants from around the country. There will be no photographers. Apple could just as easily put out a press release, but SJ is, well, SJ.
Australia as well as whole world. Had to laugh other day it seems the music download site at ninemsn crashed on the 2nd day of use. Thats service the windows way.
“Hhhhhmmmmmm, they announce this 2 days beforehand?” – Jayplus
Add 2 days to Wednesday and you get Friday. It’s the worst day to announce good results since most business people won’t think about that during the weekend and forget about them by the time Monday rolls in. Notice that when you have bad news, usually you announce it on Friday afternoon when businesses and stock market are closed for the weekend.
tried to access ninemsn music site (just for a laugh), apart from having wrong OS & browser it said I had windows media 6.4 interesting as I have media 9 installed (the latest one for Mac). Typical Microshit releasing new product thats old by 3 versions. What a hoot. Crappy, shitty software.
No no no fools, it’s just to annouce that ipod will switch format from mp3/m4a to WMA only. We just realised that M$ is right.
Silly people, it’s simple. No worldwide releases, probably no upcoming changes to be announced. It is merely their numbers. The Pepsi contest is over, it’s been a year and it’s time to reflect on the success of the iPod + iTunes combo has that has swarmed the US. But if they don’t hurry it up, the rest of the world won’t wait forever. I am hoping for new country (Canada) announcements, but i don’t see that happening. Apple just doesn’t do things like that.
The Church has an iTunes only EP. I want it. Someone buy it for me and I can Fairplay it.
Stupid CDN beaurocracy is keeping me from ehTunes.
🙁
Who on earth do they ‘call’ on a conference call? The Queen? the Pope? the First Secretary of the Union of Myanmar? Paul Thurrott?
Should I be expecting a phone call?

The fact that Jobs hasn’t forced all apple investors to buy an iSight and a powerbook and do a p2p conference video chat is beyond my reasoning.
iTunes 5 and iTMS Europe would be sweet!

I still think they may have hit 100 mil., and I think there will be something worth calling a press conference about…more than just numbers…maybe a $49 price drop to drive the stake into the other potentials out there. But maybe I’m just wishful thinking. Today, I can dream big…tommorrow, I can admit I was wrong.

Nobody,
They had a big presentation when they announced iTunes for Winblows. I’d assume they would have another big presentation if they had something significant to announce. Steve loves a big bang.
Since this is only a conference call, announced only a couple of days before, I’m thinking nothing really big will be announced.
Don’t get your hopes up too high, although I’d like to be wrong….
I think you are right … only the numers of sold songs I think
ITMS is already worldwide! All you need is a US credit card. It can’t be that hard, certainly easier than negotiation with European lawmakers.
