If you're interested and haven't already you should read Garys Book My Take, which is really an interesting read. He is really reflective about his part in the band the first time they were around and is not afraid to take blame for some things he did. Actually, it's a fascinating read about fame and how it can be taken away from you in a short time, too. So even if you're not interested in the band, it's a good insight into the western/european Pop-Business.

Yes, I really want to read Gary's book but it's not available where I live and also I think it's currently out of print

And Take That are popular in the same places that Robbie is succesful in. They also failed to break America when they tried.

No, Robbie is absolutely humongous here in Latin America but most people have only heard of Take That as a band Robbie used to be part of back in the early 90s ("Back for Good" was mildly successful too but that's it). But when Robbie Williams reunited with Take That for 40 seconds in the Children in Need concert, it was all over the news here so imagine how much promotion they would get if they reunited for a single or for a concert (also, there are plenty of places in Europe where Take That are almost unknown in present time but Robbie Williams is extremely popular: France, for example).
That they'll reunite for SOMETHING it's already confirmed. Robbie himself has said it. No idea for what though... all I know is that, even if it'll help them outside the UK, I don't want it to happen. It's completely pointless.
Also, Gary Barlow confirmed a few days ago the new album will be out in the end of this year and there'll be a new tour in 2011. CAN'T WAIT. Also, I cannot imagine HOW they'll top the Circus tour. By the way, it would be nice if they released a non-ballad as a single. With the exception of "Shine", they only released ballads in the last few years... I mean, I love their ballads but something different would be quite nice in my opinion.
