iTunes Crosses Canadian Border

As expected, Apple has launched a Canadian version of its iTunes Music Store, further expanding the service's global reach. The Canada store offers songs at 99-cents CDN, which puts the cost slightly below that for US customers despite a weakened dollar. Over 700,000 tracks currently fill the Canadian iTunes library with the same usage rights as Apple's US and recently unveiled European stores. Apple is also rumored to be working on an iTunes Music Store for Japan.
