iTunes for Canada
Apple is expected to in the next several days. The Globe and Mail says that Apple has confirmed an November launch of the music service: "The expansion of iTunes into the Canadian market will mean stiff competition for the three existing music services and it could help make a dent in the free file-sharing now plaguing the music industry. Currently, Canadians can download music tracks from Napster.ca (a reconstituted legal version of the old free file-sharing service), Archambault.ca (owned by Quebecor Media Inc., and heavy on French-language music), and Puretracks.com (the first Canadian on-line music store, started last year by Toronto's Moontaxi Media Inc.)."

Before today, I was able to click on the Music Store option and browse the available tracks. Today, I'm just getting a page that says, "You will be able to browse music and listen to previews, but you won't be able to purchase music. To browse a music store, click here." No different from earlier, except nothing happens when I click to browse a music store. Is the launch of iTMS Canada imminent?

It's been like that for me for the past few days. Searching for stuff still works though.
