Sounds familiar. I may like their products, but they're like a lot of other companies: concerned, but afraid to give the game away too soon. Unfortunately, doing that has unintended consequences with respect to adaptive/assistive technology. Just like the old days - something would change, and we'd be stuck. That said, hope you have enough time to fix any problems that the new itunes may cause.--Matthew Chao

Only then do they let us see it, and then they end up spending the rest of the development cycle fixing the bugs. So we are in communication with our Apple contacts, and they've assured us that they'll let us have access to the new version when they're good and ready, and not a moment sooner.
