Apple has quietly leveraged the transformation of the design of the iTunes Store (using standard HTML, CSS, and JavaScript) to create "iTunes Preview." Now when clicking on an iTunes Store link, a preview page that echoes the iTunes Store page for a particular album will display in your browser while a re-direct attempts to load in iTunes. Previously, clicking iTunes Store links would load a webpage that merely said, "One Moment Please. Connecting to the iTunes Store." It would then attempt to load the album or artist page that the link referred to in iTunes—on the Mac, iTunes would launch if it wasn't already running. Now, a page that includes album artwork, track listing, reviews, and other information will load in the browser while the link is re-directed to the iTunes application. - Chris Foresman
