Who knew Apple’s search engine could be such a treasure trove of information? Here’s the iTunes 11 announcement:

We’ve heard the new digital player has been re-designed from the ground up and is much sleeker and faster. We weren’t sure if it was ready for this event or if it would drop in October but a dedicated press release seems to indicate a bigger update or at least the announcement of a big update.

The upcoming update may also explain the wonkiness of the App Store over the past week or so.

Update:  We’re hearing iTunes 11 in October. Version 10.7 will be very soon
