UPDATE: Apple's iCloud is now live.
Just ahead of today's iCloud launch, last night Apple released iiTunes 10.5. The upgrade includes support for iCloud storage and playback plus wireless sync. Missing is the promised iTunes Match which will integrate a fan's music acquired outside of iTunes to their iCloud collection. Apple has reportedly shared iTunes Match with select developers and says it will launch publicly before the end of this month. In the meantime, here are the major changes that iTunes 10.5 brings today:
