iTunes 9

Thought I’d post my thoughts on the new iTunes version posted today.

• TERRIBLE shell on the Mac. The gradient ‘light’ effect on clashes with the grey on the rest of the Snow Leopard native apps.
• BEAUTIFUL store. The buy buttons are hidden till you hover over them. Lovely use of WebKit.
• AWESOME app organization for the iPhone/iPod Touch.
• AWESOME sync options for music.
• GREAT home sharing. I’ll be using it to keep my apps up-to-date on all of my machines, in case I need to sync my iPhone with the laptop when away from home.

I’ve experienced a bug? where the iTunes U section of the iTunes Store still renders using the old interface.

Off-topic: The new iPod Nano just killed the Zune HD. The Zune now has ZERO appealing features as an advantage over the iPod.
