As always, last minute rumors continue to arrive before the big event.
One series of notes claims that iTunes 4.1 (not iTunes 5) will be arriving tomorrow alongside Quicktime 6.4. The new version of iTunes is said to allow the syncing of voice notes between the iPod and your Mac... suggesting that voice recording would be coming to the iPod.
Quicktime 6.4 was previously rumored to incorporate 5.0 and 5.1 multi-channel AAC as well as 3GPP. Quicktime 6.4 is already in Panther Mac OS X 10.3.
If true, this information would also suggest that previous iTunes 5 rumors were at least partially incorrect. Readers are reminded that unconfirmed rumors should be taken with significant uncertainty.
