It’s finally here Australia: iTunes TV

Apple announced last week that TV shows from the ABC, Seven and Nine networks (along with US-produced programs from The Walt Disney Company’s ABC Studios, Disney Channel and MTV Networks) are now available on the Australian iTunes store.

Get episodes from shows like Desperate Housewives, McLeod’s Daughters, Summer Heights High, Scrubs; or even sports, cartoons and educational programs.

You get to watch 30-second previews before deciding to buy.  You can watch them on your computer or sync them to your iPod.

Shows can be downloaded as early as one day after it airs. Imagine never missing your favourite show again… bliss!

The best part? Not a single commercial! That alone is worth the download fee.

Check out iTunes TV Shows now.

Want other ways to watch missed TV episodes?

Stay tuned for future posts about downloading or streaming TV programs - legally and cost-free.  Updates will be posted here

The wait is nearly over for Aussie Apple fans

Sydney: Apple’s first southern hemisphere store should be open within the month

This banner is flying high on an office complex in George St, Sydney, marking the imminent store open, which insiders say will be 19 June.

Apple also plan to open another store in north Sydney and Melbourne.

With the 3G Apple iPhone launch due very soon (gossip also indicates early/mid June), it makes sense that Apple Sydney will also open their doors to the public about then.

Though when it comes to protecting our iPods and covering our mobile phones, isn’t it individuality that matters?

“Each to their own!”
“One man’s trash, is another man’s treasure”
(and all similar clichés)

It’s still a fun list!

• Like, can you justify spending just short of $300 for an iPod cover?
• Or, do you think that you’ll find the bullet-proof iPod case a necessity?

Check it out:

With patents and technology industry gossip - you just never know what will eventuate. The latest story to surface is a potential patent by Apple for a flip style phone (see linked post below).

Though if we’re still waiting for the iPhone to arrive in Australian Apple stores - guess we’ll be waiting a whole lot longer for a new flip phone variety…
