iTunes gets updated anytime there are interesting new features for iPhones or new media types or a security hole is found. The problem with iTunes right now is that it has to manage too much...
1. Sync music, contacts, photos, home page,and applications to every type of iPhone and iPod touch. 2. Manage song / music / application / iPod / Mac University / TV showpurchse and download. 3. Act as a player for all the above media types. There are some rumours going around that iTunes is being re-engineered as separate programs or perhaps just completely being rewritten. It really doesn't make much logical sense that you go into a music player to control application installs and refreshes to iPhones,so I could very easily see them migrating this code out of iTunes and into iSync (does iSync still exist in reality?) Once upon a time iSync was used to push bluetooth contactts to your phone.
