Cupertino-Based Apple Launches iTunes Store in Australia

Cupertino, Calif. - Cupertino-based Apple has launched its iTunes Music
Store in Australia, offering a catalog of 1 million songs, although notably
absent were tracks from major record label Sony BMG. "We are working
with Sony, and we know their artists would like to be a part of the launch
and we hope they will join us," Apple iTunes vice president Eddy Cue
told ZDNet Australia. The store is selling songs for about $1.27 and
videos for about $2.56. The iTunes store's major competition in Australia
will be the BigPond Music service offered by Aussie telco Telstra, which
supports downloads to Windows-compatible devices, but not to the iPod.
