    BBC Wildlife magazine shares secrets online

    Posted on March 22, 2010 | No Comments

    iTunes 9: Blu-ray And App Organization And Twitter, Oh My?

    This is completely a rumor, but an awesome one. Citing a "pretty reliable" source, Boy Genius Report is saying that the next version of iTunes will add a bunch of new, highly requested features. Specificially, BGR's source says iTunes 9 features Blu-ray support, a new way to organize iPhone apps within iTunes, as well some kind of integration with Twitter, Facebook and possibly Last.fm. Each of those features have been talked about for some time now on the web. But as BGR notes, the talk of Blu-ray does line itself up well with an AppleInsider report from yesterday that very vaguely suggested Apple has new iMacs due shortly with features that have long been on the wish-lists of Mac owners. Blu-ray is certainly on that list, and seems like a pretty good candidate, despite Steve Jobs' calling the format a "bag of hurt" as recently as October of last year.
