Brief Hands-On Report--Apple Released iTunes 7.0

To implement downloading of movies and games, Apple released iTunes 7.0. It is available for download via Software Update or from as a stand-alone file from this Apple Web page. According to the ReadMe file,

With iTunes 7 and the new iTunes Store, preview and purchase high-quality hit movies plus new and classic games designed exclusively for the Fifth Generation iPod. Flip through your collection by album cover with Cover Flow, protect your iTunes library by backing up to CDs or DVDs, and much more.

We downloaded and installed iTunes 7.0 with no problems. Then we purchased a copy of Apple's Texas Hold'em to try it out. It downloaded and was placed in a new folder "iPod Games." [Bill Fox and Dana Baggett]
