What is the best way to register for iTunes in Taiwan?

Are there any problems for a Taiwan person to register in Taiwan?

Can they have an account and access iTunes purchases?

I did it, no problem.

Did you have to use a US bank account? I had to, but I am here in China

No, I used my Taiwanese credit card.

Poagao, do you think you can buy and install applications for an iPhone even though iPhone is not available in Taiwan?

This is the reason behind my question. My friend has a hacked iPhone from the US and wants to join itunes to add applications.

yes, you can... as long as you have a TW credit card/billing address...

to see what's up for grabs, just launch iTunes, go to iTunes online store and select "Taiwan" from the drop down list on the bottom on the screen... anything you see, you can download and install on your iPhone... unfortunately, there is no music, only apps... apparently Apple is keen to back continued music piracy in Taiwan ... Also some of the significant apps are not available from the Taiwan iStore, Shezam, Google Earth, etc.. but there is *a lot* there to keep you busy...

Yeah, I've gotten quite a few apps from the iTunes store, even paid for some. It is too bad about Shazam and Google Earth, though. I'll manage, though.

My iTunes is set up to be the UK one. I looked to see what Taiwan music there is: practically none, and all the titles in English and Pinyin. I couldn't find a Taiwan category even.

So, to access Taiwanese iTunes I'd have to open a completely new account (and even then there's not much music on it)?

So do you *need* a credit card to get an iTunes store account?
Also, is there a way to change the Taiwan store to English?

Well? Well?!
Someone must know the answers!
