I really don't understand why there's no Canada store - strange. It couldn't be a technical issue, must be legal.

As far as I can tell, the legal barriers were removed only a few weeks ago. I'm hoping they will announce it for november. Yeah yeah, I know, I keep repeating the same stuff...but if we Canadians are not annoying enough, they might forget about us.

I suggest a "no-celinedion for ITMS" trade. That's the best we can offer 😉

Interestingly a bunch of links from the itunes page on apple.com result in an error (try to get the latest free song, or click on the eminem track in the top 10).

Also, some exclusive ep don't seem to work (a search for the artist le tigre returns no hits).

But enough rambling, iTMS with a few songs missing is better then no iTMS at all!
 
I tunes music store italy already working!! I can browse and buy!!! So happy!!!!!

Apple breaking EU law?

Well, unless I am totally mistaken, EU legislation states that goods and services should be freely available throughout the union.

Thus, Apple making this service available in a few countries within EU and actively preventing other EU states from purchasing from it must be illegal?
Remember the talk about car dealers refusing forreign customers and being fined for it - this is exactly the same thing!

Anyone know how to report this? Apple, or more likely the labels, deserve problems for this.

Artist Alert

Go to individual artist pages, and there will be an item in the upper-right-hand corner called "Artist Alert." Click on it, and you can set alerts for new albums. I'm pretty sure this is new today.

Also, Music Videos can now be arranged by genre. Is that new?

www.macprime.ch (it's in German, though). Ironically, the only site that covers the event live is a Swiss site...

Thanks to your link, I've been grabbing the text updates from there and dumping it in Sherlock, translating German to English and getting a fairly clear if not somewhat hilarious version of the events.

Using babelfish it appears they still have no reports from the actual press conference, they are just talking about the same stuff we are here, why certain EU countries (that use Euro only) are not available, no news on Canada, Japan, Australia, etc.
 
Good call Pkis!

Is it me or is the swiss german so much harder to understand? i can't get hardly nothing...

Not that i understand german a lot, either 😉

AFAIK no word yet on timeframe for the next iTMS localizations? as of 12:22?

well, actually the site is in German (as in German German) - but it's not very useful - they seem to be copying from some other site and don't have anything useful so far
 
iTMS Europe only in Euro Zone

One interesting fact: All european countries using the Euro currency now have iTMS except for the Republic of Ireland. That's why other EU member countries such as Denmark and Sweden are still iTMS-less. I guess all Danes, Swedes, Norwegians and even us Swiss would be more than glad to pay in Euros even though currency exchange rates may change a bit from time to time.
 
From a news feed

Apple Introduces iPod with Photo Capability
Apple says new iPod Holds 25,00 Photos

That headline was 10 minutes ago. I wonder if it was sent out early?

U2 Edition iPod for $349
 
macprime.ch and Sherlock claims that Switzerland doesn't have their own net curtain. That's too bad, I feel for you guys 😉
