iPhoto Photobooks come to Australia, New Zealand

I have not created a calendar or photobook yet, not because I can't, it is because I can't understand why someone would pay that much money to have one made.

blurb.com books are WAY nicer if you ask me... and their software integrates w/ your iphoto library...

Any way I could create a Photobook with iPhoto here in the states and have it shipped and created in Australia? Just curious since I just returned from a long vacation/wedding there and would love to put something together for my friends in Adelaide...

This is FANTASTIC!!

I am heading to NZ in a couple weeks - I can use the photos I take there to make a photobook and get it delivered to my folks!!

Hooray! Glad I bought that MacBook now ;-)

it's not just in aus, nz and hk. our little island of singapore gets it too

finally, some apple lovin', and on chinese new year too!

I work in an Apple dealership and we have been doing iPhoto books for over a year and this is in Perth Western Australia as well (the most isolated city in the world). I also know that we are not alone in offering this service as there are many others the country over. That being said however its not as easy as clicking print through iphoto and it being sent automatically to the printer as you have to provide us with the PDF first....

Still were not that behind the rest of the world! :P

What are the European countries where it's available?

FINALLY.

Now, given the average time Apple has taken to do stuff like this, we can expect the iPhone in 2012. That's no joke, this and the iTunes store took around 5 years to get here. We should get TV shows and movies next decade sometime too.

Well I guess I'll have to wait for the decade to come, until we get the servise in Greece. I've made 2 photobooks so far and that's when I'm visiting my brother in USA!!! Still, it's a nice feature and I'm looking forward for the day it becomes available all over Europe... It shouldn't take so long...

So, wait. I'm in the US, and having never made a book yet, or even used iPhoto, I looked for it in my Applications folder. Oops, when I bought Leopard and clean installed, I forgot to reload the Tiger disc to install iLife - and I only have '06! But according to the US Apple website, it seems I can actually print books and stuff from '06, too.

So what new things are '08 only in regards to printing in iPhoto? New templates or something? Also, can you make your own templates, or does the software basically tell the bureau to print your images on book size x style y?
