I know this is fake but...I mean...some really good ideas in there.
Like after reading this I'm suddenly dissappointed in iOS5
Got to love the way some developers stick to their NDAs! Of course I realize this was an official press release:rolleyes:
I'm so tired of reading this comment in every post about betas.
You are on a website called macrumors.com that deals with rumors, leaks and pre-release info. I honestly cannot even comprehend why people come here to post comments like this, it's ridiculous.
I would like to see iTunes get back to music only. If you think about it iTunes, which was for music now runs all the iPhone and iPad apps. It's too much clutter.
I agree. Now defunct iSync would've been a good vehicle for managing mobile devices.
You might want to obscure your name and phone number on that screenshot.
and serial #.
Good GOD Dude...you're gonna have the whole world calling you now!
Way to re-post his link. :rolleyes:
Please take all the time you need to get it done with as few bugs as humanly possible.
I would like iOS5 and, especially iCloud, to work right. Trusting a lot of stuff to an off-site storage system is a little scary.
DON'T RUSH! :D

I know what you mean regarding the clutter, but some might argue that having four (or more, if you are talking about it not handling video) different pieces of software for what one can do now is more clutter, not less. I use iTunes for music, tv, and movie purchases/rentals, to organize my ripped movies and CDs as well as music downloaded from other sources, and to sling music and video around my house via AirPlay. I can't even imagine if all of the functions of iTunes were split into their own pieces of software.
