iTunes Australia in June?

Mid-June still isn't very long. I'm glad Apple is expanding, but it's too bad they aren't expanding to more countries... I realize legal issues get in the way though.

These are the top 10 countries for number of PCs

1. United States 161,000,000
2. Japan 40,000,000
3. Germany 27,640,000
4. China 20,600,000
5. United Kingdom 20,190,000
6. Korea, South 18,615,000
7. France 17,920,000
8. Canada 12,900,000
9. Italy 10,300,000
10. Australia 9,000,000

They should try and get everyone on that list. People can't use iTMS without a PC.

by mid June ... that includes the end of April, doesn't it?

Well ist another promiding sign. Here's hoping the number of songs available and price per song make it attractive

any fellow australians here that are feeling their excitement waining about the launch of the australian itms. this must be the umpteenth prediction of a launch date and now i'm serisously not that much interested. [hopefully that'll change again]

waiting and waiting, as a student i think i'll be just as happy to continue buying 1 copy of an album and borrow it between friends, play it over and over during the course of a week - be completely over it and then pass it back.

I'm actually surprised that the numbers are that low.

If you follow the link they are only year 2000 figures. There are probably a lot more now...

If Apple is confident enough to be preparing advertising for the Aussie iTMS, they will probably be ready to announce it will be coming in "whenever" on April 28th when the announce some other iTunes stuff (theoretically) as they did with the preannouncement of iTMS Canada.

Yeah I've definitely filed ITMS Australia under the I'll believe it when I see it part of my brain. Every month there is another ITMS Australia rumour - I just don't care anymore!

All my sources are saying 'mid may'... but then again, i've got it on good advice that Apple have been looking around for quotes on a May 31st event with a weblink and so on. This could well be the iTMS AU Launch.

Once i've got more clarity on those details, i'll post it up on AppleTalk.
