Ping, only accessible from within iTunes? Not a web interface at all? That is surprising to me. I can't participate unless I have an iPhone/iPod Touch/computer with my iTunes installed.
Also, he mentioned showing what my friends have purchased. I am more interested in what they are playing right now or are playing overall, regardless of where it came from. iTunes and iPods have been successful because it isn't restricted to only content purchased in the iTunes store, but now they are focusing hard on the iTunes store content only?
I can't see that this is going to be as successful as if they had a more open mind about it. What about the MP3s I buy from Amazon or CDs (or whatever) and load on my iTunes? Only tracking what comes from the iTunes store is like navel gazing. I think they miss the big picture that way.

Or maybe I am just old fashioned. :)
