itunes 5 gets new features

iTunes 5: The star of the show: "

Filed under: ,

iTunes 5 play There are those amongst us that stifled a yawn at the new features, or lack thereof, in iTunes 5.0, however, I believe this was the biggest announcement of the day.

A cell phone running iTunes, and that has an artificial song cap of 100 songs? Eh.

Even smaller iPods? They look cool, and I want one, but at a certain point smaller isn't better, even in consumer electronics.

No, gentle readers, iTunes 5 is where all the interesting stuff is happening. Are there any knock down, jaw dropping features? Not really, however, what iTunes 5 does give us is a glimpse into what iLife, and other Apple applications, will look like in the near future. I predict the death of Brushed Metal, and the rise of.. plasticy metal, of which I am a fan. iPhoto's next rev will look very much like iTunes 5, gone will be the fat metal margins, and in with the non-existent margins. Streamline, streamline, streamline!

Garageband will still retain its odd windows, some things you just don't mess with.

I own an iPod and will refuse to buy any further Apple products until they get this battery thing worked out. I don't like having to shell out 100 bucks to them for a NEW BATTERY!! It's ridiculous!
