Apple has SOME kind of blockbuster announcemnt in the works for April 28:
- Apple Computer Inc. informed MacCentral by special invitation Monday morning of an event the company will hold in San Francisco on Monday, April 28, 2003. While the invitation was not specific on exactly what the company would announce at the event, it did narrow down the possibilities.
The invitation says that Apple will have "announcements that will be music to your ears." Apple has several music products, but speculation over the past couple of weeks has focused on three things: a new iPod; a buyout by Apple of Universal Music; and a new music service by Apple.
My guess is number 3: a buyout of Universal seems too large an undertaking to have been concluded in this short a time, but what do I know?

I really really hope it's possibility #2--I've got over 30 gigs of music (mostly owned/ripped, but a few gigs of downloads)and I've held off on the Ipod because of its "measly" 20 gig capacity.
You're prob right in that Apple is announcing some sort of "pay to play" music service though.
