In November 2009, Apple launched a feature dubbed iTunes Preview, which essentially enabled people to see what music is available on iTunes from their Web browser without the need to fire up – or install – the desktop software program.

At the time, you weren’t able to actually listen to a sample of music tracks from your browser, but that changed earlier this year when Web-based audio previews were quietly added (paving the way for the imminent roll-out of iTunes.com).

This morning, Apple activated the iTunes Preview feature for iPhone / iPod Touch applications in addition.

Just another step towards moving iTunes to the web.

it is! What is annoying though is it ALSO launches iTunes automatically-it would be nice to just have an "open in iTunes" button on the site.

I see what you mean, it immediately opens itunes, not a deal breaker, but a PITA. I'm not a fan of iTunes, but I have to admit it does "just work". I know that feature alone is huge when aiming for the masses.

Overall the feature is great, but the individualist/radical in me wishes it did not cram iTunes into my consciousness.
