Will it be technologically superior to iTunes?
Most likely.
But it is not iTunes technical superiority that will make it the more popular product, if we applied this reasoning to all of Apple's ventures then the iPod would not be the top mp3 player,.mac wouldn't be used and the last iTunes cell would have been even more of a failure.
Apple have an ability to sell a product to consumers who simply do not care about it's effectiveness so long as it fits into their existing Apple set up.
I have no doubt Apple's offering will be more of a success, whether that success is deserved or not however is a different matter.
