Bryan Veloso on iTunes 9 pretty much hits the nail on the head… why do they have to make iTunes look different to everything else, and why in this case did they make it fugly? Other than that its all good. I have one question though, why the hell did it take them 3 years to add a usable interface for managing iPhone apps.
Personally I think the new look is spiffy, and it seems to be going in the direction of converging the look of the desktop and iphone where appropriate.
Plus the column browser being moved to the left is a welcome improvement.
