I think one of the things every one wants or least hopes for at an apple keynote is the “One more thing”.
Do you think we will see one more thing tomorrow and if so what do you think or hope it will be?
With the rumors going around about the short stock the time capsule and Airports I wonder if they will be the one more thing. One of the rumors out there is that “iCloud” will really replace the iTunes on your machine. If that’s true and they really go the mode of the over the air for almost anything then I think that the revamped time capsule asking as a local “Sync” server make sense. I know I would rather not download any update to application or new music or TV Shows or Movies over my 3G. if I could have my time capsule or local iCloud do that I would prefer to go that route as all my updates and downloaded shows (if I even choose to download them any more) would be waiting for me on my local network and I wouldn’t have down them over 3G or the Starbucks Wi-Fi.

So we had a "One more thing" but as Steve admitted, it was only a 'small thing.'
What were your thoughts on iTunes Match? Certainly a service I'll be interested in. With three devices, it'd be great to pick and choose what music from my main library I want, when I want it!

I am most definitely interested in it. I wonder if they will give you all the full features of an iTunes track when you down load something matched back to your PC later.
I don’t remember them mentioning anything about what happens when you stop paying for the track. Since they are stipulating that the music needs to be DRM free to use I’m guessing that all we loose is the cloud based access to track. Now if I can pay the $25 and download all my music again at a higher quality to another machine and rebuild my library there I think the cost is amazingly cheap. But we shall see when they start posting more details this may be EULA that I will actually read.
I wish the service had a streaming component and maybe it will but I was hoping they would have said so in the Keynote. I feel for the folks out there that have an old iTunes library that dates back to the DRM days they can’t have that in cloud and is not available for download. I wonder if Apple is doing this to get people to “upgrade” their music to the “+” versions?
