In the latest episode of This Week in Tech (the episode has been up and down), Digg founder Kevin Rose claims to know more specific information regarding Apple’s upcoming product launch.
Rose reveals details that were left out of his previous blog entry, which originally shed light on Apple’s upcoming product launch. Rose claims that a specific iTunes feature called the “Recommendation Jukebox” will be available with iTunes 8 and the new iPods on September 9th.
“Rose also claims to be aware of multiple iTunes 8 features, but names only one out of concern that he might over-promise for the software. While not elaborating, he suggests the jukebox will look at a user’s music and make recommendations of its own. To what end is unclear, though the recommendations will most likely tie into the iTunes Store. Apple already makes suggests through its Just For You feature but is dependent both on using previous iTunes purchases as well as by-hand additions of albums the customer owns from outside the store,” Electronista reports.
Apple is widely believed to be holding a special event in September, where the release of new iPods, iTunes 8, or quite possibly an overhauled notebook line would be warmly welcomed.
