iTunes Match libraries to be wiped, launch coming up?

In addition to the Google Music announcement earlier, it looks like we’re one step closer towards the launch of Apple’s iTunes Match service as well. The company has started sending out emails, letting them know that they will be deleting all current iCloud libraries on Saturday, November 12^th at 10am PST.

iTunes Match was supposed to be launched by the end of October, and with that date missed, who knows when Apple will be giving it the green light? However, the wiping of Match libraries in preparation for the launch can only be a good sign. How many of you folks are eagerly waiting to use iTunes Match, and those of you who have been testing it: how is it so far?

iOS was once upon a time called iPhone OS, or "operating system", which is the software that provides all the basic device functionality and is the interface between the hardware and applications. iOS was introduced with the iPhone on January 9 2007, and it was originally not intended to be programmable by third parties. Steve Jobs had envisioned that developers could create Web Apps that would run in the browser. This changed less than one year after when the iPhone SDK (software development kit) was introduced in October 2007. Today, hundreds of thousands of apps have been created for this platform. iPhone OS became iOS on June 2010. Interestingly, both iPhone and iOS were former trademarks of Cisco, that Apple now uses under a license.
