“It’s finally here,” I shouted whilst hopping around the room. “It’s finally here!” South Africa finally has an iTunes store. We can finally get accounts and finally benefit when there are free items needing accounts. iTouch owners can finally legally upgrade their iTouch with just a few clicks.

The sad news is we only have an applications store at the moment. The main reason South Africa never had an iTunes store, is because the music and movie studios in our country are always haggling over copyright. But the first important step has been made. You can sign up and get applications, some are free and the highest price I have seen is under $10. With Vodacom still keeping very silent on a release date for the iPhone we can only hope that sometime soon music and movie stores will be added to iTunes too.
