Apple News - Let's Rock

Okay, here are the highlights of the new Apple Products that are coming out;

Itunes 8
- Accessibility (not sure if that means Philippine customers can now access Itunes, will update you later)
- HD content now available for movies and TV shows
- NBC shows are back on Itunes
- Genius function which basically allows you to make a playlist of similar songs in your library by clicking on the Genius button when listening to a song.
- Genius will also allow Itunes to recommend songs similar what you have on your library.
- Free for download.
Comments: Hope this makes Itunes available for the Philippines now so we can actually have access to all their content, not just the apps.
