I can second that for Germany. So they finally made it avaiable for Europe with this MW.
One question: when you buy it, do you really get a package like the OSX box? What is in there, a letter congratulating you that you just purchased extended warranty?

When you get other Applecares there's a cellophane-wrapped box with a booklet and a CD in it. The activation code you give to apple is printed on the inside cover of the booklet. This is why you can buy and sell unactivated Applecares on Ebay. The product is only activated when you give that code and your serial number to Apple - not when you buy it.

everyone remember: most credit cards will double any warranty of anything purchased with the card, up to a year.

So, use your credit card, and you have FREE iPod AppleCare.

Yes, and if this is anything like traditional Applecare, that means one year is included with the iPod purchase, and the second year costs $59. With a credit card, the second year is included free of charge.
