Dang sure glad I got a Galaxy. The wife has a new iPod touch 4 though. Can't seem to find how to get the iTunes store in English, and somebody on the web said it isn't possible. HCrap can that be true? What do all the foreigners here with iStuff do? Just use the US iTunes store?

You can change the language in two steps:

See what a little googling can find? Have fun with your Galaxy.

Hey Dad, it's me again. I found your preferences but when it's time to show the money, it reverts back to Korean. So I guess all you iPhone users have to get a Korean friend to help you buy apps eh?

Just use the US or Canadian store.

You even mention it in your OP. Why would you have not tried this by now? Is there some specific app only found in the Korean store that you need?

No, um...son... I've bought all of my apps in English. I don't get the problem you have. Are you using Winblows?

Maybe it's because my credit card is from KEB, a Korean bank, and my mailing address is in Korea. The two have to match. In the English credit card application form, you have to put in your mailing address linked to your credit card. Since on the English form there is no spot for 'Korea' you have to change the page to Korean location, which changes the language. Therein lies the rub-a-dub-dub.

So, let me ask again to all ya'll out there....with a Korean credit card (KEB) International Visa, and of course living here in Korea, is there any way to register with iTunes in English?
I don't really feel like bugging my co-workers to help out with such a task.
