It will be integrated in iTunes 12.2 for OS X and Windows and will release an update for Apple TV. They will also add new iTunes Radio.

Current version limits are 5 skips per hour per station.

Country Availability

Apple Watch

When Apple Watch just launched few weeks ago, it is unlikely that they have major overhaul.

Future Software Updates
