iTunes store now available in Malta
iTunes last night opened its digital doors to Malta when Apple launched its popular store in the 12 European Union countries that had yet to gain access to it.
Users in Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia now download and purchase music through iTunes bringing to an end an eight year wait.

We need Spotify! I have a basic account and it satisfies virtually all my music listening needs. Can't get a Premium account with my Maltese bank card unfortunately.

What a joke.
The music store has less than half the catalogue of music found on the UK store. There are no ringtones, no iBooks, no movies, no TV Programmes and the podcast catalogue is abysmal.
I'll stick to my UK store account, thank you very much.

It's a start. Apple/iTunes Store are constrained by copyright holders and cannot just open the floodgates without the prior approval of all concerned parties.

and a bad start at that...
There are other specialised music download services which offer quite a bigger catalogue than the Maltese store.
For apple Malta remains an irrelevant fringe market. That's also the reason why we won't be getting the iPhone 5 on October 14th.
