I was kind of hoping that Steve might have made some other announcements - either about iTunes Europe or iPods...
Still, great iTunes update though :)

Interesting that he allowed the press and software releases ahead of his announcement for a change.
…Unless of course there is a surprise up his sleeve this morning, like an updated iPod, but I'm not holding my breath.

Steve's not one to let people steal his thunder, I'm still crossing my fingers for something big. Perhaps his almost habitual "Oh, and one more thing..." :D

For those who've been complaining that 3 computers isn't enough, the limit being upped to 5 must be great news...

Hs anyone ever burned the 10 limit of CDs for any legal reason? I don't see any need for anymore than a few copies, and even 7 is much more than I need. Can someone shed some light on why a person might legally be burning that many copies of a single playlist?

Steve seems to stay pretty much on message. The conference call was about the iTMS.
The good news is that we are just two months till WWDC. The broadcast will have started....
