iTunes Movies in Europe by Year's End

MacRumors · 03:59 PM

Macworld.co.uk reports on comments made by Apple's vice president for Europe, Pascal Cagni this week:

Quote:

Cagni also confirmed that Apple will launch its iPhone in Europe in the fourth quarter of this year, and confirmed plans to open an Apple retail store in Paris, France at some point.

Last reports on a European launch of iTunes movies had targeted Spring 2007.

The sooner the better! We're waiting!

ilikeiBook · Apr 27, 2007, 04:05 PM

What about Canada? It tooks a while just to get the iTunes store.

And Vancouver still doesn't have a retail store ...

Great, still waiting for UK itunes movies

bilbo--baggins · Apr 27, 2007, 04:27 PM

Sooner the better - for the iPhone and movies. Let's hope movies are upgraded to HD before they reach Europe...

alexprice · Apr 27, 2007, 04:52 PM

I'me really looking forward to that. I will be their biggest customer.

I presume you mean films.

By the way, the linked page does say films are coming to iTunes Europe.

Whistleway · Apr 27, 2007, 05:09 PM

But why is this page 2 and a silly synaptic article on page 1??

Hertog · Apr 27, 2007, 05:28 PM

The article sounds a bit strange. In the title it says iTunes Movies are coming to Europe, but neither the article nor the quoted text refer to it at all. Perhaps it would be better when the quoted text includes the iTunes Movies statement, or if the opening sentence would say something like this:

'Macworld.co.uk reports that iTunes Movies are coming to Europe near the end of the year. This was said this week by Apple's vice president for Europe, Pascal Cagni, who made some other comments worth mentioning:

Hopefully Apple will have negotiated some TV shows to be added to the iTunes Store at the same time. I'd be a regular customer.

However, I can only imagine me downloading films from the iTunes Store if it's through a subscription model.

Yes I saw, but it's not here now, that's my point

"He revealed that Apple aims to have around 70 sales outlets within larger retail stores open across Europe by the end of the year."

Ooooh! One in Ireland please.

When will they activate the iTunes Store in Kuwait? (Middle East)

*sigh*

-am · Apr 27, 2007, 07:38 PM

seconded for canada!

Scarlet Fever · Apr 27, 2007, 07:44 PM

i spose iTunes Movies will be in Australia mid-2009...

Shades of Blue · Apr 27, 2007, 08:03 PM

I don't think Apple even knows that we - people who use macs in the Middle Eastern region - exist.

We REALLY want more, but support is REALLY poor.

Many features mac users around the world enjoy & we don't.

Support is not good even in Dubai.

I hope you don't think that i'm whining, i'm just trying to explain the problem that i'm suffering from.

Just sending out a "Hi" to another mid east Mac user. Probably pretty close to you actually, I'm in Hafr Al Batin just over the border from you in Saudi.

Oh, and I agree, Mac and the Middle East, currently don't go together.

I'm thinking of a *BIG* protest.

I'm getting the feeling that Apple are missing the boat on a few things. Not that it can be helped, coz Apple really don't have the support infrastructure.

iPhone - At least 5-6 months late (no 3G at the mo as well, massive price, no outlook support).

iTunes - no movies, no TV.

AppleTV - as above, pointless device outside the states.

I'm slowly becoming less and less a fan boy. The iPhone release will not help as I'm going to get 6 months of articles from the states telling me how great the iPhone is.

Don't know about you, but the last time I checked, I was a Mac fan because of Macs. No amount of delayed gadgets is going to affect that one bit.

Sure, I love my iPod, and I love the iPhone and its disappointing how long some things are taking, but it doesn't make me like my Macs any less.

Sorry Apple, you were replaced by Mac the Ripper and Mediafork. If not for the long delay I likely would have rebought a few films. Then I found the above 2 programs
