iTunes 10 was also announced today.
It features the usual upgrades, a slightly better look, but it also confirms Apple's decision to compete with social networks (they also presented GameCenter on iOS) since iTunes now includes Ping... a new social network dedicated to music!

Ping allows users to follow other users (people they have added as friend), to see their photos, videos, music previews, and of course to buy that music. Ping is according to Steve Jobs a mix of Twitter and Facebook. We notice that it appears to be very much like myspace, which was not named among the other social networks.
Ping is included in iTunes 10, which is available today through software update, and also on the App Store for iOS devices.
