iTunes for Windows is Coming

haha, I thought they were already MAKING it not hiring...
:eek:
Like they did for AppleWorks for windows... hm... seems fishy...
edit: I come here too much...

Is it just me, or is it really weird to see a job listing for such a seriously important role at Apple? You'd think Steve had a handful of the most talented in mind. At the same time it's pretty cool to see that it's not closed, that they're looking to see what's out there, see what's fresh and innovative. That's what keeps Apple the great company that it is! They always seek to innovate. And make money, of course, but that's the nature of the beast!

time for me to apply

Ok, I think is good that Apple is sharing a little something with the PC side. May be it will end up like some kind of invation to the other side once Apple start translating FCP and the rest of the iAps to Windows.

Now, if in 2 or 3 years from now we are gonna find the same applications for Windows... (and mayyyyyyyyyybe OSX too)....

Why are we still buying a computer that is twice as expensive?

If I can find the same things working as well on booth sides, why should I get a platform that is more expensive?

Of course this is all theory but we are moving foward that way having iTunes for PC.

At list I hope that the ammount of money collected by Apple will compensate the price of the hardware some day.

I agree about the cost of the computer. Apple's need to go down in price, but I doubt that they will. If you bought a comparable quality pc it wouldn't be so much more expensive, though. Well, between 500 and a grand, which is several iPods!

i think this will be good, its just an mp3 player, so should get all consumer music stuff to the windows people too. apple has become that standard with media with windows and macs with quicktime. they are the standard with windows and macs wth the ipods. now its time for itunes to bust in there and become the standard. i see apple right now being in the music world as windows is in the computer world.... THE STANDARD.

I think whatever revenue they lose in people not buying a mac to use itunes, they will make up for by having that many more windows users surfing their online music store. ;)

It's not you, it is really weird.

I've needed iTunes for a long time on this here PC.

One of the things I miss the most about my mac... :(

;)

I was under the impression that the way you got employed at apple was to be invited by someone already working there(?). Anyone know for sure?
