Well we in Iceland have been waiting for sometime. I mean we are connected to EU, just like Norway. I mean Swiss isn't even connected to EU, they denied the aggrement, this sucks big time. We in Iceland have one of the highest percentage of active users and one of the highest percentegest of sold computers ( as for Apple ). But I choose still to believe that Apple will not complete ignore us and give us an Apple store real soon. I mean we really couldn't have a much simpler system for dealing with record company's. You only DEAL with one company here in Iceland, you pay them and you get every song you wan't.

I wan't iTMS to Iceland

I think most people in Antarctica already have a US billing address :)

Whilst there are a lot of Useans in Antartica there are also lots of Kiwis,Aussies,Argentinians,Chilieans,Russians and Brits.
PS I just did a quick Google and it appears there are nationals from about 30 countries down there in summer.Poor penguins.

Penguins have US billing addresses?? Do they know that? I realise the US is all into invading countries these days, but that's ridiculous... Terrorist penguins attacking their bases maybe? Osama Bin Penguin at it again setting up training camps?
Considering more than 65% is under Australian jurisdiction, including the bits the US bases sit on, I suppose we should take offense somehow, but then our PM is all for sucking up to Georgie boy.
I'm backing the penguins... :)

U.S. nationals make up approx 1/3 of Antarctica's population in the summer (January). Sorry off topic...

Do any of the research labs down there use Macs? I wonder if Macs would function in the South Pole during the winter seasons, when it goes down to -60C...(without any heating)
 
Hm, iTMS Sweden still doesn't accept my credit card. Choose store still shows all new countries but the drop menu when you want to change your country does not show them. However, a swedish newspaper says Apple will hold a press conference at 12 o'clock, guess I'll have to wait until after that. :)

*phew* Glad it's not just me. I was beginning to think there was something wrong with my card, even though it was valid enough to purchase Tiger from Apple.
 
I just bought my first three songs from iTunes Music Store:

Bertine Zetlitz
"Rollerskating", "Fake Your Beauty" and "Apples and Diamonds"

I want to buy "Schnappi das kleine Krokodill", but it isn't available in the norwegian store. Is there any way to submit song requests to the stores?

Well, there's NOTHING on the frontpage of Apple Norway... only an ordinary page buried under the iPod+iTunes tab... haw about some sort of announcement, Apple Norway...?
Click to expand...
Yeah, they should really do some advertising now, but they haven't even had the press conference,yet, have they?

Edit: vg.no says they received an official press release at 08:50 this morning.
 
My credit card still doesn't work, but it was fine when I used same .mac acount to buy a 20" iMac last week...
Many more Swedes have the same credit card problem :mad:
 
Doing a search on iTMS Australia (I still have access from when the song link hack worked) now brings songs up again (still AU$1.69). It previously did not have songs appearing on a search for a few weeks.

Still hasn't got a proper front page (ie. still using the US store frontpage).

It feels a bit rich to me...Maybe if it was at least 192Kbps, but for $5 to $10 you get the whole album, cover art, lyrics and all in many cases. And unlimited use...
 
Swiss store @ $1.25 per song

The Swiss store charges 1.50 Swiss francs for a song, which is equivalent to $1.25 at today's exchange rate. An album is 15 francs, which translates into $12.50.

Songs are 99c at the US store, so that's a 25% mark-up for us in Switzerland.
How much are albums at the US store?
