Apple Computer is planning the next wave of expansion for its popular iTunes online music store with a multi-country European launch in October, the services chief architect said on Wednesday. "We are well on pace to launch more EU stores. We will do it next month," Eddie Cue, Apples vice president of applications told music executives at the annual Popkomm conference in the German capital.
In typical Apple style, the computer maker gave scant details of the hotly anticipated launch. He told reporters on the sidelines it would likely include more than five new countries in the next wave of stores. "It will cover a good portion of Western Europe," he said of the launch, but declined to elaborate.
Operating in Britain, France, Germany and the United States, iTunes has sold over 125 million downloads. While it has been a runaway hit in the United States and Britain, it has had a relatively tougher time in continental Europe, where online piracy runs rampant.

Currently SCi has released no details of what it's planning to do with Highlander, but creative director Patrick O'Luanaigh weighed in with his thoughts on the franchise, which the company clearly reckons has a lot of potential. You can see his point, too - it is, after all, a game about scary men with big swords hacking each other up.
"There are so many great opportunities with such a rich licence as the Highlander franchise," O'Luanaigh commented. "We will be working closely with Peter Davis and Bill Panzer to develop the Highlander universe further. The concept is ideal for a game."
It's not yet clear whether there will "be only one" Highlander game, but there will be only one 'be only one' gag in this item. Except those two. Ignore 'em. And expect to hear more about Highlander soon.
50% of the time i cant get on the UK Store.
At least here that's exactly because we have few alternatives.
Except for going to a store and buying copy protected CD's of course...
