iTunes Music Store is live in Australia

That's right, Aussies, the wait is finally over. Pigs are flying, hell is frozen and the iTunes Music Store is available in Australia. We thought the rumor was too good to be true when we first heard the rumblings surrounding this week's Australian Media Briefing, which was attended by the worldwide head of the iTunes Music Store as well as the head of iPod Marketing. Looks like they flew down for more than a vacation after all.

To our Australian friends: We're glad your wait is over (just don't be too boastful around your neighbors from New Zealand, OK?).

Thanks, Jason!
