AppleInsider: “An unsigned agreement with one major record company has halted the launch of Apple’s iTunes music download service in Australia.

What I found interesting:

“According to several members of AppleTalk, an Australian-based Macintosh news and community website, the average price of a tune was listed at $1.69 Australian. Meanwhile, album prices varied from $11.35 to $16.99.”

Bummer. That’s not a great price range. I think I’ll just get a Canadian credit card and go the 99c option with iTunes Canada. I guess the labels in Oz just want more money than in Canada.
