We, the loyal international users of hardware and software produced by Apple Computer Inc. are dismayed by the U.S. centric view of the Management of the aforementioned corporation.

U.S. only features such as iPhoto's hardback album ordering system and various sections of Sherlock 3 are not available should the customer live in a country other than the United States.

The recent announcement of iTunes 4 and the accompanying music service was met with great excitement by the international Macintosh community, but yet again we were let down as the ability to buy music from countries other than the U.S. is not available, and it is not clear whether this will ever be the case.

We pay the same figures for our Apple hardware and accompanying software as United States citizens, but the software feature set is becoming increasingly frustratingly crippled for us.

We demand that Apple Computer Inc. take a much more serious stance on supporting the 50\% of their customers who abide in countries other than the United States.

    • As an Apple user we all pay a premium for the higher level of quality, functionality, and service that is Apple - yet in the International community (ie anywhere other than the US) we pay even more again, wait forever for some products (waited three damn months for my 17" PowerBook), and then there's the issue of offers available ONLY in the US?!?!? If the international market is not worth your effort, perhaps it's because you treat it as such - we can hardly go jumping at what you offer if you charge us more, deliver it to us later, and/or not even offer it to us at all.

    • We're still waiting for the international features of Sherlock (localisation and local services, for example)... What does this say about Apple's support for the rest of the World?

    • I'm good enough for Apple when they want to sell me something in a very expensive way, but not good enough to use those expensive stuff in its totality.
