It's not too late. Apple has actually been getting continuous pub from the stream of copycat announcements. While it might have been good for them to have completely captured this market before others jumped in, the timing of the release should not be too bad at all.

Wonder how this plays into the Napster release onthe 29th? Looks like Apple wants to get as much hype before Napster comes out.
I just took a look at Napster and you'll need windows 2000/XP and MS Media player for it to work.
Let the fight begin!

My gloves are already off... So the 16th it is. I agree with GrannySmith_G5 too - I think there'll be an ipod accessory or two with it, just to sweeten the deal.

The story also says that Apple may offer incentives (free songs) to those just signing up.

that would be great if apple can pull it off. If apple cannot make the windows version happen before napster and dell get started, i do not think there will be much marketshare left once apple enters. Apple would have to force themselves into an already packed market rather than entering one with only a couple of services that cannot compete equally.

Now the question is, will I be able to access my iTMS downloads on my Mac on my windows machine?
That would rock. Pun intended.

It's the real deal for Windows users. Napster is not compatible with the iPod. Also, the new iPod tv ads will probably change slightly after the announcement with a tag for iTunes for Windows. I wonder if Apple may also drop the prices on the iPods or perhaps a new 5 gig at $199?
