iTunes Connect is still down, was due back today
It looks like the iTunes Connect team is still on "holiday break"; it was scheduled to end today.iTunes Connect is used by developers to manage their apps on the iTunes Store and to check sales of their apps. Developers have been without iTunes Connect since last Wednesday. Those who were hoping to submit new versions or pricing changes will have a lot to catch up on once iTC goes live again, and the App Store reviewers will have a big backlog to go through.
Update: iTunes Connect is back up! Developers on Twitter are noting the holiday surge in purchases...

Probably a time zone thing. It's only 11am or so in PST. Give them a break. It also went offline later in the day, so coming back up later in the day shouldn't be a surprise.

Well let's hope it is because Apple recognizes that a major overhaul is needed. I do believe that Apple realizes the need to do better with iPhone developers but some times when faced with a flood you have to tread water for awhile. Hopefully the new systen streamlines the process and opens up communications.

Apple announced that iTunes Connect would be down THROUGH December 28th. Expect it back tomorrow...what time in what time zone, I don't know, but unless they're running on Australian time, there's no reason to have expected it back yet.

According to the site is says "Please come back when we reopen on December 28th." So they should be back.
I'm going to go out and get something to eat while I wait. Anyone need anything while I'm out?

WOW. I submitted an app and had it approved within 10 hours! Not weeks, hours.
