In a nod to how important the Chinese market is to Apple, the company said Monday afternoon that it has launched a big update to GarageBand--all focused on the addition of both Chinese language localization throughout the app, and a host of traditional Chinese instruments. Apple said it has added the pipa, erhu, and Chinese percussion instruments, plus "extensive" Chinese language localization, and 300 Apple-created Chinese musical loops in the popular mu sic creation tool. The update also included new sharing options for Chinese social networks, including QQ and Youku.
