Apple's Music Service - April 28th?

Sneaky steve is... ;)

So do folks (Steve) think this will be THE way music is distributed?

wow... well i hope this will be another ipod-like success... speaking of which, what about the ipods?
:confused:

I hope this holds true... not that i want to use it, but it's cool-)

11 days till we can figure out what's really going on. Maybe.

but that's a monday. :p

Hopefully new iPods with recording feature and ability to act as a host to dl and preview pics from a digital cam will come out at the same time....is the 28th a tues? ;) Can't wait to see what innovations wil be in the music service....it will give me something intresting to do browsing through the songs while i'm bored looking for a job...

the 28th is a Monday... doesn't the 29th seem more likely? then again, the new FCP was released on a Sunday, so who knows.

"Released" and "announced" are two seperate things.
In the past, new products with "immediate availability" were announced on Tuesdays to allow retail outlets either some warning time or allow shipments to reach stores very close to the release date (FedEx and UPS usually don't deliver on Sunday)
This music service would be a little more than just a product introduction, so the actual introduction date is all up to those crazy Cupertino people (or just Steve).

Its funny to watch people talking about when such a service would be released and at the same time people are forgetting to ask why such a service would be started in the first place.

Do we really need/want Apple to serve downloadable music for a fee? I mean we have Amazon for books for example. Nobody expects Apple to start selling books. Why do we expect/hope that Apple would start this online music service, and will it really be any good to Apple?
