oh, so online music was the big announcement from apple. not a huge surprise, considering so many of the online services don't work with a mac. it's too bad it's only available via itunes, and i'm not sure i would have made eminem my posterboy. :) but hey, sure enough, itunes has a rendezvous-sharing feature (poor icommune!). and the new ipods have added standard interface buttons in addition to the scroll wheel (a good decision, i think). too bad the dock is kinda ugly, but that was a good decision, too. it's edging closer and closer to a pda with every incarnation. doesn't "neodymium" sound like a made-up word? still, i wonder what leeann's got to do with it all. :)
update: i forgot to mention how glad i am this is not a subscription service. with their foray into .mac, i feared it might be. i'm wondering if they plan for a .mac hook sometime soon.
update update: and apparently i should be glad to live in the united states: the apple music service isn't inernational. *winces* (though one anonymous poster wrote, "i'd much rather have social democracy, peace, edible yogurt, and viable public transport than 99 cent downloadable songs. count your blessing, europe." hee.)
