FOUND - TV Shows on UK Store.

applemax · 02:08 PM

On the Apple Start page there was a link for Season Finales. I clicked on it and when the UK store is set to default on your Mac, this page appears:

(Mirror Link)

This is clearly a leak for an early feature, as the tabs at the top are renamed, such as 'TV Shows' is renamed to the proper-English (

) 'TV Programmes'. When that is clicked, it fowards you to the 'Browse' section of the iTunes store. Very interesting...

If you want to try it yourself, click here and as long as your iTunes is set to UK it should work - unless Apple has taken it down.

Bottom line - it looks like TV shows are coming to Britain!

Also, it's definitely the UK store as it says at the bottom 'Apple Sarl' instead of the USA's 'Apple Inc'

It's not uncommon in programming to have a separate file for localization text and assign that task to a translator. I'm not saying they aren't coming... just saying it's not indicative of the fact that they are.
