    Is it possible to download from Itunes stores outside ireland. I've done it with the US itunes by buying a us gift card and setting up another account. Is the same possible for Austrailia and the UK?

    Yep, just set up an account for each one you want and you can download all the free stuff, and if you can get the correct vouchers, you can buy stuff too.

    I'm about to try the US app store (thank to posts in the App thread)

    Just to confirm, there won't be a problem if I 'revert' to Irish itunes will there?

    The two accounts need different email addresses, so when you're finished in one store and want to move to the other you'll have to log in again (with the correct account details) each time you switch. There are no problems with switching between accounts, it's just a bit of a pain having to do it.

    Cheers

    So if I was to download an app from the US store, then synch to the Irish store, what would happen the US app?

    You'd still have it. But when an update for it appears, you can't update it from the Irish store, you have to log into the US store and then update it.
