According to latest update, Apple has launched its iTunes online media store in 12 more Asian territories including Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan. Now, it becomes easier for users in the region to buy and download music and videos on the iTunes Store from over 20 million songs available. 

Apple claims that the iTunes Store is the best online way to discover, purchase and download music for iPhone, iPad, iPod, Mac and PC users. It features numerous local artists as well as international artists. 

Earlier, Asian users of Apple's iPhones and iPads were unable to buy songs and movies online unless they have gift cards issued in countries such as the United States and Britain. 

Other Asian territories where iTunes is now available are Macau, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, Brunei, Cambodia, Laos, Sri Lanka and Vietnam.

Analysts added, Apple has disappointed India once again as it has skipped India to launch iTunes store. It is worth noticing, India is an increasingly important market to Apple. Apple's operating revenue has got doubled in Asia in the past quarter, surpassing Europe. 

Further added by analysts, Apple’s step motherly treatment to India is benefitting its rivals who are capitalizing on Apple's lack of services push to India.

Let’s hope Apple soon realize the potential for the Indian market before it gets too late as other vendors are continuously improving their services in India to generate more revenues.
