Glad to hear that the iTunes Store has reached some countries here in Asia, especially the Philippines. What are to be expected of the iTunes store?
The iTunes Stores reached Asia in several locations such as: Hong Kong, Singapore, Philippines, Thailand and 8 other countries. Asian users with Apple products could download some applications or games, but they couldn't download songs or albums. This action was made because the Asian market is very important for Apple and it has a growing consumer culture that has created a huge demand for their products. In South East Asia more than 50% of the population that uses internet uses Apple products, such as iPad or iPhone.
In Singapore, albums are priced between S$ 9.98 and S$ 12.98 (US$ 7.80 - $ 10.15) and some of the songs are sold for S$1.28 (US$1), which is lower than in the US., compared to a song's price - US$ 1.29.
