Now it handles movies, television shows, podcasts and more. It also serves as a syncing tool for now a phone with contacts, calendars ringtones etc… So we know that iTunes has become more of a “allMedia” program. The name “iTunes” does not suffice and the question is, what is in Apple’s plans for its media side in terms of branding? I hope they change the name for iTunes to something more fitting because it becoming unclear what they are doing with iTunes as a brand. Lets take look at a snafu on Apples part.

This is just one many different dialogues that passed through the ranks at Apple. A very good friend Daniel Wilson starting pointing out some to me and it actually shocked me how some simple things can pass by some great minds.
