Online Brazilian Apple Store now live
After months of rumors, Apple's official online store for Brazil has officially opened at apple.com/br. It joins the 34 other countries with localized online stores. The Brazilian store is a mirror of many others and joins Apple's effort to establish a presence south of the United States. Presently, there are localized online stores in Brazil, Costa Rica, Chile, Colombia and Ecuador among others.
Right now, there are no brick-and-mortar Apple Stores in Brazil, but they do run eight "Stores within a store" complexes in association with Fnac (similar to the arrangement with Best Buy here in the USA). Brazilian customers have anticipated the real thing for a long time.
Here's hoping you get physical stores soon. Until then, enjoy your online shopping, Brazil!

Does anyone know how I can order an Apple Aluminum Brazilian Portuguese keyboard? Is it the same as a Western Spanish keyboard or U.S. International keyboard? I can't tell from the online photos.
I've tried looking on Apple's website, Google, and talked to folks at the local Apple Store without any luck.
I have a Logitech Brazilian keyboard for my PC, but wanted to get an Apple keyboard for my wife, who is Brazilian, to use on our Mac laptop.
Any suggestion(s) would be great. Thanks!
It's nice having the Brazilian online Apple Store, but what I REALLY want is the iTunes Music Store here in Brazil!

An ipod shuffle costs about 300$. The tax may reach 100% in some cases, but not more than that. That doesn't explain something costing more than the triple.
In fact, prices are more expensive in the online apple store than in places where you can buy legal, official, supported apple gear, such as americanas.com.br
@Alexandre: You're right. It's not only tax. You have to put in the cost to bring the products to Brazil, from US, and then you have to put the spread from Apple to the distributor, from distributor to retailer... it's a complicated process... about the price at Apple Store Online, it's good that there are other retailers that have Apple gear for less money. Competition is good. If Apple puts its price in a higher level and the retailers can sell them for less, that's wonderful, let's buy where you can get more for less money.

There are NOT ANY APPLE ONLINE STORES IN LATIN AMERICA, except for BRAZIL and MEXICO.
Where did you get that information???
The only official Online Apple Stores in Latin America are the Mexican and Brazilian ones.
Not. A. Single. More.
Oyeh! At long last! Thanks a bunch, Apple (and TUAW for reporting it)!
Even though a Macbook Air does cost something around US$ 3.540,00... Yup. That's Brazilian taxes for you.
THE PRICES ARE 3 X more than USA, THATS CRAZY

Very happy about this.
Just to celebrate, I ordered a Snow Leopard Family Pack and a Final Cut Studio upgrade... :-D
So... It's nice for buying music and renting movies. I will really appreciate if subtitles get available too :)
