I just noticed this: Apple now not only sells you apps in the AppStore in Malaysia, but you can also download podcasts and iTunes U content, using your Malaysian iTunes Store account. This is a big change, considering the directory was not available, this time last year<\/a>. I believe this change is mostly international, across all iTunes stores.<\/p>\n

Incidentally, you can now also buy iPad apps in the AppStore (yet, you cannot get an iPad from Apple or any of their authorised resellers; people are generally price gouging you now with their parallel imports). So what do you get in the Malaysian AppStore today?<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Apps: iPhone, iPad<\/li>\n
  2. Podcasts<\/li>\n
  3. iTunes U podcasts<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    So what’s missing? Music, Movies, TV Shows, and Audiobooks. I guess that’s stuff we should look forward to, in the future.<\/p>\n

    This could be big for podcasters in Malaysia\/Singapore. Audio, video content can go into the directories. We’re getting faster Internet. And there are a lot of iOS-devices out there, which now may have yet another reason to use iTunes (and maybe purchase apps at the same time). Kudos Apple, we’ve waited long enough.<\/p>\n
