Why does Apple care about Last.fm? Does Last.fm make hundreds of millions of dollars a year? Because that seems like the minimum action to move the dials for them now.
That aside, I'm looking forward to see how this work out. Given that a lot of people could mistake RWW for Facebook login[1], maybe being stuck inside iTunes could be an advantage. In a sense of "Open iTunes, click this, here's your profile!"

Apple bought LaLa a while ago, that was a pretty strong sign of something like Ping happening.

No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame.

And costs a LOT more money. $1/song instead of $3/mo.
Also, Spotify.
Also, Rdio
Huge gaps in the catalogue.
