Apple's 12 Days of Christmas iPhone app
As we reported last week, Apple is again rolling out their '12 Days of Christmas' promo for almost all of Europe. From December 26 to January 6 anyone with a iTunes account in the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Austria, the Netherlands, Finland, Luxembourg, Norway, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland, and Ireland can download a free song, music video, app, television show, or film from 'some of the biggest star performers' on iTunes.To help you remember to download the daily giveaway, Apple has created a '12 Days of Christmas' iPhone app [UK iTunes link]. It uses push notifications to alert you when the new download is available and also allows you to connect to Facebook and recommend the download to your friends. So if you live in Europe, get downloading! The promo starts December 26th, but the app is available now!

I posted this in the comments, in the App Store hope it helps some people here as well
Well Done Apple, you made a error in your own App, you have a localization error which is not allowing people like me, who are English, living in Germany to download the Super Free 12 Days of Christmas. If your iTunes store and your region Format are different you will experience problems, As I did, couldn't download, wondered what was wrong, and found the solution. Apple Genius, thats what I might be, I can only suggest using the following links, they do work from your iPhone
France: http://www.itunes12joursdecadeaux.fr/
United Kingdom: http://www.itunes12daysofchristmas.co.uk/
Germany: http://www.itunes12tagegeschenke.de/
You can send me the cheque for helping out no problem ;-) have a great New Year, to one and all
Just so you know each app/song/film/movie can be seen on the respective sites

^How does one set up a UK iTunes account without a UK credit/debit card?

From there, find a free app, click it, then click Get App. The box will appear asking you to log in or create a new account. Create a new account, then go through filling in everything. Where it says payment options, it will say 'None'. Click that, then fill in the rest :D

So those of you in the americas north (Canada, USA, Mexico & Atlantis (!!)), central & south are not part of the promotion. Also excluded are Africa, Middle East, Asia, Pacific regions which includes japan, New Zealand and Australia!!!
Hopefully that will stop duufus in those countries saying they are not included
That is unless we set up a UK iTunes acct. I already have an Australian acct that I used to get Skype early.

December 23 2009 at 12:25 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyDoes this strike anyone else as strange? The holiday tunes won't be available until after X-mas AND a special app is needed to alert you when that might be?!? I don't at all mean to look a gift horse in the mouth, but this is a bit of a fail. What's the root cause of the delay....licensing?
December 23 2009 at 12:21 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyIt doesn't say these are holiday tunes, nor does it say the app is required. As for the delay, the 12 days of Christmas starts on December 25 as far as I remember.
