Apple has sent out an email to developers saying that yet another iTunes Match reset is scheduled to take place tomorrow at 10 AM PST. Developers that are currently testing iTunes Match will have their libraries erased as Apple readies its servers for the public launch of its music streaming service.
Apple missed its previous deadline for the public launch of iTunes Match at the end of October, and there’s still no ETA on when the cloud service will be made available to everyone.
What’s interesting about this most recent reset is that Apple said “as we prepare for the launch of iTunes Match,” hinting that the launch is indeed imminent.

I wonder when this is coming to the UK? I remember reading an email a while back from Tim Cooks saying it would be by the end of this year but seen as though it still hasn’t launched yet in the US I am having doubts!
It still won’t be released next week.
Steve Jobs turns around in his grave after all these issues battery-gate, missed deadlines…
Not at all. Steve, unlike you, understands that this sort of thing happens in this game.
