Apple Teases 'Exciting' iTunes Announcement Tomorrow


Apple today updated its homepage with an announcement teasing a major iTunes-related announcement to be made tomorrow at 10:00 AM Eastern time.

Tomorrow is just another day.
That you'll never forget.

Check back here tomorrow for an exciting announcement from iTunes.

There have been no specific hints as to what the announcement might entail, but Apple has of course long been rumored to be moving to a cloud-based iTunes where users' music would be stored on Apple's servers and streamed to a variety of Internet-connected devices. Apple has also been rumored to be working on a subscription-based music service that would complement the existing pay-per-download service.

Either of those services could be supported by Apple's massive new data center in North Carolina that is set to go online by the end of the year.

My first thought was this was 90 second song previews, but that can't be (the only) thing they announce tomorrow, because the letter Apple allegedly sent to labels said they would be extending preview lengths for US customers, and this teaser has international clocks. (UPDTATE: Gizmodo has pointed out that despite the international clocks, the teaser is only on the US site right now. Interesting...)

Facebook integration for Ping is a possibility, but just maybe they will announce iTunes Streaming.

Also, I don't recall having ever seen Apple post a teaser for a web announcement before. That makes me excited!

Cloud-based iTunes would be Epic. I'll just leave it at that.

Notice it's 10a EST, not PST.

That could mean something. Either cloud, subscription, or Beatles. That's my guess.
