Apple has a new iTunes version but I guess that’s not a surprise anymore. We were expecting it so here’s what we’re going to get from iTunes 9:

• iTunes LP – includes videos, liner notes, credits, lyrics and other customized content
• iTunes extras – extra content for movies and interactive features
• Redesigned layout – the music section appears as a long horizontal slide window
• Drag-and-drop songs support
• Home sharring support for songs, movies and TV shows
• Better app syncing for iPhone
• App Organization feature
• Facebook support
• Twitter support

So what do you say? Ready for the new iTunes version? Or are you going to try Zune HD for a change?

Apple’s future keynote hasn’t been properly announced yet but we hear the next event is coming in the week of September 7. According to these rumors, Steve Jobs might be present and Mac lovers have probably waiting for him to return for quite a while now.

What will Apple launch? We will probably going to see the next generation of iPod touches, you know, the ones with cameras and microphones. The new iPod touch will come in new sizes, 16, 32 and 64GB which will cost $199, $299 and $399. Considering that that hot new Zune HD is coming on September 18 we should very well assume that Apple is indeed launching the new iPod touch a week before.

What else can we expect? Will we see the tablet? A MacBook refresh? iTunes 9? Whatever it is, we’ll be watching!

Apple hasn’t released the new iTunes version just yet but we have some shots of the future iTunes 9 already. The images have been found by a German blogger in a Chinese Apple forum so there’s nothing to guarantee these pics are actually genuine. But as you see, certain features of the upcoming iTunes versions are being confirmed by the leaked pictures. There’s Last.fm support and social integration which should include Facebook and Twitter. What do you think?

It looks like Apple is working on a brand new version of iTunes. Nothing’s official yet but iTunes 9 will features like Blu-ray support and app organization features. In other words you will be able to organize all your iPhone / iPod touch applications from iTunes 9. Other features include Twitter, Facebook and Last.fm integration. We have no idea when Apple will release the new iTunes but we should assume it’s coming pretty soon. After all Apple’s yearly iPod event is coming in September. And let’s not forget that Palm managed to find a way to still sync the Pre with Apple’s latest iTunes version so the Cupertino-based company is looking for some payback time. What do you think? Will Palm Pre owners still be able to sync their handset with iTunes 9?
