iTunes 8 Leaked


A NoNewbsDotCom poster claims to have stumbled upon a download link to the new iTunes 8 from Apple. Touting the new version as a “HUGE upgrade,” the forum user, however, failed to note any specific new feature. Nonetheless, what looks like a genuine screenshot of Apple's site at the time iTunes 8 was available for grabs accompanies the “breaking” news.

To the left, you have the alleged screenshot of Apple's site at the time iTunes 8.0 was available. Pointing out to Opera's tendency of misplacing objects on pages (something we can also vow for) the poster claims to have been intrigued by the URL's mentioning of iTunes 8.0, thus going forth with downloading and installing the new software.

The few allegedly lucky visitors to Apple's iTunes page at the right time on Sunday say they noticed an out-of-place "Download Now" button in the middle of the page which, if clicked, linked to a download for iTunes 8.0 rather than the publicly available 7.7.

Others claim to have noticed the download as well, but in most cases the file in question is said to have already disappeared.
