Alongside the launch of all those new iPods, Apple has also updated their iTunes to the tenth edition, complete with a brand new logo that has a music note instead of a CD. Tagging along iTunes 10 would be Apple’s version of Facebook called Ping, much oriented towards music obviously since it’s in iTunes. Apple’s music-centric Ping will let you follow people, including artists and bands and celebrities, establish a network of friends, post comments, listen to custom songs and album charts, and even let you click “Attend” on some 17,000 concerts listed. It’s also available within the iPod Touch and iPhone.

“iTunes is the number one music community in the world, with over 160 million iTunes users in 23 countries, and now we’re adding social networking with Ping,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “With Ping you can follow your favorite artists and friends and join a worldwide conversation with music’s most passionate fans.”

With iTunes 10, you can rent your favorite HD TV shows commercial free from ABC, ABC Family, Fox, Disney Channel and BBC America and watch them at home or on the go for just 99 cents an episode. Thousands of episodes are available, many the day after broadcast, to watch on your Mac® or PC, iPhone, iPod touch and the all-new Apple TV®, and you have 30 days from the moment you rent an episode to start watching it, and 48 hours after that to finish it.
