iTunes Australia to Launch Next Week

Posted by Zonk on from the cheap-tunes-for-our-friends-down-under dept.

daria42 writes "It looks extremely likely that the iTunes music store will launch (finally) in Australia next week. Apple confirmed that its vice president of iTunes Eddie Cue, and vice president of iPod product marketing Greg Joswiak will be flying down under for a press conference on Tuesday morning. Cue has been prominent in a number of launches around the globe of the online music store, which is now available in around 20 countries worldwide. Australians have been waiting for the launch for more than a year now. It is believed Sony's Australian division wanted to block the launch."

    I submitted this story earlier this week (news.com.au article) and it got rejected. But I'm not bitter, just glad iTunes is finally coming! Even if it is without Sony/BMG initially.

    For a troll you certainly know a lot about the gay community, stereotypes or not...

    Gay Marriage? Check.
    Abba? Check.
    Pet Shop Boys? Check.
    Bette Midler? Check.
    iPod? Check.

    Yes, I like all those. But you forgot:

    Cher.
    Madonna.
    Dorris Day.
    The Golden Girls.
    Goldie Hawn.
    and Susan Surandon...

    So maybe this is not really a troll for homophobia but a troll for not completing the list. How dare you young man!
