iPhoto in Japan/Europe and iTunes Soon?

I REALLY hope this is true.

iTunes Music Store can't come to the UK and the rest of Europe soon enough as far as I am concerned!

Here's hoping...

...And if you live in Australia, don't get high hopes.

Those who work for Apple Australia are the biggest pack of wankers you'll ever find...

I'm not sure Apple Australia even know that the iTunes music store exists. There is little chance we'll ever see it unless Apple US can somehow do a deal so that we can use the US version of the store...

Hopefully the Music service will be extended to our friends in the frozen north, there are millions of people out there, come on record companies, understand there is money to be made!

Now that the corpulent old farts that run the record industry have finally realised they can make a few bucks from this internet thing they'll spend 2004 falling over themselves to get every territory on earth signed up. After all, the bloke from the BPI is 'hoping and praying' that the cashflow starts as early as possible.

Apple will probably open another music store up in next 2 months.

If they don't I would really be surprised.

iTunes to Europe would be excellent.

(I'd be able to use my UK Visa card to buy stuff!)

Hope Canada isn't far too far behind.

Stuff waiting for Europe and god knows how many layers of bureaucratic bu11***** and fat cat lawyers wasting everybodies time and money, lets just get the U.K. iTMS up and running.

[mod. edit - Don't circumvent the profanity filter.]

I seriously doubt there will be an "iTunes Music Store - Europe". There will be, however, iTMS France, iTMS England, iTMS Italy, iTMS Germany, etc. Each version will have their own site. Remember, there are many different languages, artists and label affiliations in each country. It's much more complicated then people are willing or able to understand. Most of the delay in developing these other iTMS locations has to do with the artists and not "the old corpulent farts in the record business." Stupid comments by pimple-faced post puberty teenagers not withstanding!:p

As if the US's northern neighbors don't matter. We still don't have the iPhoto service, nor iTMS or anything else! C'mon Apple... Canada rules!
