iTunes 11 will reportedly be a major update to the application bringing a completely different UI and better iCloud integration, according to iDB.
From what we're hearing, the UI would be much more cleaner and "slick." iCloud is also going to be more closely integrated with iTunes. Rather than the iTunes Store being essentially a web browser, the Store will actually be integrated into the entire app- much like Spotify is currently.
We're also hearing that iCloud backups will be integrated into iTunes. This means if you back up your iDevice to iCloud, that same backup will be stored locally on your computer. Also, app data from iCloud will be synced closely with iTunes. For example, if you beat a level in Angry Birds, that level data will be synced to iCloud and then to your iTunes library.
The source of this information is not mentioned by iDB; however, it makes sense for Apple to integrate its new iCloud service into iTunes as much as possible.
