Can anyone get online yet? I’m just getting that country warning screen

I’m now not getting the country warning screen, and down at the bottom there’s the option to select UK.
It started to load, but then I got an error message - perhaps too many people trying to log on?

DR Pod. When you go to the US page, scroll to the bottom, and there is a pulldown menu to choose the different country’s stores

Apparently Steve mentioned something about being able to play iPod in cars, I am wondering if only certain brands (BMW) will be supported. Any info?

Is it just me, or are there very few tracks avaliable on the Apple Store in the UK? Will more be coming later today?

Won’t process my card either. Am getting an error saying the card info was declined, but it is definitely all correct and works fine with other online transactions.
They must be getting overloaded with requests.

Thanks for the tip Nathan. Got logged on. There are lots of gaps in the content though! Maybe it’ll get better. Bit disappointed to be honest. Also the audiobooks are way cheaper on the US audible.com site.

Apple deffinitely hates canadians, at least Jobbs does. We are the last one on their list for everything, everything, ###### japan and europe gets things before us and we are just up north, not an ocean appart. They even fired their sales representative here, all in all I’m fed up with Apple. I’ll probably get an iPod one day in my life but no macs anymore, I already have 2000$ down for an alienware system, at least THEY care about us. I’ve been a mac user for many years now (7 years) and as soon as I have enough cash down it’s up to alienware I go. If I’d be living in France or Japan or even the US (which will never happens) I might consider an Apple product again because they care about those markets, but I’m a canadian and Jobbs hates me and my fellow…
