Apple promises it'll be a day "that you'll never forget."<br/><br/>Speculation is rampant. The consensus prediction is that the Beatles catalog will finally be available on iTunes. Other predictions from the media:<ul> <li>You'll be able to store your iTunes library in the cloud (using Apple's giant new data center in North Carolina)</li> <li>iTunes will be integrated with Facebook</li> <li>iTunes will allow 90-second previews</li> </ul> My personal hope is that Apple will announce content deals with all the major broadcast and cable networks for AppleTV content, such that we can all finally ditch our cable subscriptions. Or, that Apple will announce its own cellular network so we can ditch AT&T. Neither of those is likely to come true, but one can hope. Apple also has a huge hoard of cash, so a major acquisition is a possibility... but mergers are hard to keep secret, what with board negotiations and SEC reporting regulations and all.<br/><br/>The Beatles announcement seems the most probable; the other possibilities don't seem worthy of the hype. We'll see in twelve hours.<br/> Ken Mon, 15 Nov 2010 23:14:13 +0000 http://www.realkato.com/blog.php?pid=1758
