Austrailian iTunes a Month Away

Posted by John Yunker

It looks like the much-awaited Australian site will be live by the end of April.

And unlike the UK, this time Apple owns the Australian domain name: itunes.com.au.

What makes the Australian site significant is that this is the first Asia-Pacific site. I also expect to see Japan this year and possibly even Korea.
