Ever since Apple acquired LaLa I\'ve been curious what exactly they planned to do with it. Obviously there has been loads of speculation that a more web-based \"iTunes Cloud\" could be in the works but nothing concrete has ever shown itself. Now, with the announcement that LaLa shuts down on May 31st the rumor mill can start working at double speed. There\'s really nothing to do but wait to see what really comes of it but I\'m a bit shocked that they\'re shutting down the service rather than just relaunching it as something new and different.
