iTunes 8.0.2 also improves accessibility with VoiceOver, an Apple-developed technology that aids visually impaired users by reading aloud the contents of files while providing a rich set of keyboard commands for navigation and comprehensive audible descriptions of the present workspace.
The 60.3MB update, which is available through Apple's iTunes site or via software update, arrives amid mounting evidence that Apple could be preparing to release the next software update for the iPhone — version 2.2 — as early as tomorrow.

This makes me think that it will be released tomorrow. That v2.2 will be dependent upon iTunes 8.0.2, which makes me think there are aspects that speed up the transfer and/or prevent jailbreaking apps from utilizing iTunes.
I hope we get improved Voice Call quality and better Saferi
Will it stop my iMac from crashing when I scroll in iTunes?
...and better Saferi
That is so overdue. It was great in all the 1.1.x versions.

That sucks! I have found iTunes 8 to be the most stable iTunes build I've encountered from Apple in as long as I can remember.
The 2.2 is already on apple server for itunes and (download) wait till 9am and it will be released unless I was drunk today at the meeting lol
