Apple announced this week the launch of iTunes in several Asian countries including the Philippines. This is good news for us who have an iOS device or two as we now have access to songs, apps and movies that were previously unavailable to us. These include music from local artists, of course. Not only that, we can now also shop for books under the iBookstore.
It is only about time that we have our own iTunes Store. Before this, I can only populate my iPod through ripping my CD. The only way I can download music and books from iTunes is to ask my sister to get me an iTunes Music Store prepaid card or buy one from an online seller at a higher price. Now, I can use my local credit card to gain access to all of the goods.
Moreover, Asia is one of the fastest growing markets for Apple products. Since many of their gadgets now come sans optical drives, Apple users here have no option but to download iOS and Mac OSX software from iTunes or the Appstore.
iTunes music store has been online since 2003 and after almost ten years, it's here. Well, better late than never. Welcome to the Philippines iTunes!
