Availability for other European nations not available. Apple has previously announced they would be entering the European market by the end of the year with rumors of singles priced at 1.49 Euro."

    "Only secure WMA downloads available. Not the greatest idea IMHO bearing in mind the popularity of the iPod."

    Last I saw the iPod has around a 21% market. While its been some years since I took basic math, I think that 21% is less then 79%. So would you rather provide a service to 21% of the market (never mind that Apple wont let them even if they wanted to) or to 79%?
