iTunes Store Finally Arrives Malaysia

Finally, after years of waiting, the iTunes store finally arrives Malaysia today officially together with other Asian countries.

But unlike some of the country like Taiwan, the currency used by iTunes store Malaysia is USD instead of Ringgit Malaysia, which also means we need to pay extra conversion rate based on the currency rate of the day.



About the pricing, let's take an example from one of my favorite artist - David Tao 's previous album. It is selling at price USD9.99 which is around RM31.9 at iTunes store. The price is still consider reasonable as the physical music album (CD) would cost around RM40-RM50 here in Malaysia.

I know what buying music\movies from iTunes is very normal especially in the US, but for the rest of the countries like us, this is still a pretty new experience and would take some time for us to adopt this. Anyway I'm really happy that finally Apple expand this to other country.
