iTunes 8.0.2 now available, adds VoiceOver capabilities

And yet iTunes STILL doesn't support the trackpad gestures that have been touted by Apple themselves in their shipping products since the beginning of this year. I have sent suggestions to the iTunes feedback page with every revision of iTunes released since pointing this out, as well as sent another such notification to the fabled email address of Steve Joberoosky himself a few months ago and yet they still remain unsupported.

The Apple computer that authored the Mac Programmers Toolbox I-V is rolling in its grave.

The iPhone isn't much better... they ad selectable multiple delete to mobile Mail.app, yet you cannot do the same in any other swipe-based interface.

There is no "call" button within the SMS app.

Apple is so disjointed and only growing more so. At first I gave it up to massive growing pains, but it seems nobody is going back to sweep up the mess after the party.

If Apple cannot police even themselves, who will ? I think the massive number of sub-standard apps in the AppStore show the answer to that... no one.

Sorry to tell you lovers of all things mac (er, are you listening David?) but it's not just those running Vista who are having problems with the new iTunes. My iTunes running on Leopard on my mac mini is wholly unresponsive on and will not Force Quit.
Fortuanately the good folk over at macfixit seem to have a solution (http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20081123233527850) which I'm about to give a try...

I haven't been able to access the iTunes store (i.e. actually buy or download songs) for over 12 hours now, even with iTunes 8.0.2. WTF? Time to watch another "it just works" commercial....

.....and i see that apple STILL hasn't f'n even mentioned fixing the problems with airtunes not working! ever since i updated to itunes 8.0, i can no longer stream from itunes to airport express. anyone else having this issue? i've been on about a dozen forums and tried about 8 different ways to fix this to no avail, both on tiger and leopard.

internet radio doesn't seem to drop out ...........yet

Does it fix the 'sticky EQ settings' bug, where a track's EQ setting is retained for all following tracks played, rather than reverting to the user's global EQ setting?

I still can't access the iTunes Store (and thus can't download the iPhone 2.2 update) through a proxy!…

So is this the version that supposedly breaks jailbreak? I'm holding off on this and 2.2 until the dev team says it's OK.

iphone software 2.2 is now out! Installing as I type this.

iPhone firmware 2.2 is out! Download it now and update!
