Apple readying iTunes 4.8
A new version of Apple's iTunes software will reportedly boast security enhancements and handle the syncing of user contacts and calendars to and from iPods.
The new version will pack a maintenance and security update and may also contain added support for a new wave of international music stores, now seemingly overdue.
Additionally, company documents indicate that iTunes 4.8 will take over the responsibilities of transferring contacts and calendars to a user's iPod. Previously these functions were handled by Apple's iSync application.
According to sources, the software could debut as early as the first week of May.

Great.
Looking forward to iTunes 5.0
I'm sitting here waiting for QT7 for my PCs. I know that once it's ready for PC the launch of iTunes 5.0 can commence based on QT7. I just have a feeling actually. It makes sense to have a more robust QT in which to build the functionality of iTunes on.
Perhaps the infamous 'Australian iTMS' will be launched at the same time. One can dream can't they?
Fingers crossed my friend.... fingers crossed
Well I've yet to have the luxury of using iTunes. I know shock horror. I generally didn't play music on my old laptop, and well I don't have an iPod. I decided to do the reverse iPod halo effect, get my new PowerBook (hopefully today ) and then when I get a little more money, off I go to buy an iPod.
wait, so info management along with photos will be handled under itunes? doesn't this strike anyone else as odd? or is itunes truly the trojan horse that gets apple under every pc user's nose out there, managing everything under the sun. gosh, now there'd be a trick...
