    so, if i understand this correctly, "cloud-based itunes" could mean..virtually unlimited storage space to the currently limited-storage iDevices..yes?

    sounds cool..how about quality of the streamed music?

    Would be a nice option to have the ability to stream your purchased content (if not already loaded on your device) BUT I want to see an iTunes update so that my iPhone/iPad can connect remotely and stream from my Mac, that way I don't have to have a MobileMe account and I don't have to remember to sync with this outside server

    Cloud Based iTunes would be nice only if there was a great network to handle it. When you don't have access to the Web, then the cloud is useless. If your network (AT&T) is having issues, you can't listen to your music.

    I experience everyday on AT&T from 5:00pm PST to 5:15PST I can't stream any music from anywhere, my home, pandora, aol music, NPR, and etc. This issue is that the music pauses and has to buffer alot.
