Mauritius to Apple and iTunes Store
Yesterdayness, the inhabitants of the island republic of Mauritius have managed to buy the iPhone 3G and 3GS through mobile phone provider Orange, but there is one major problem — there is no access to an iTunes Store. This reminiscent of the original iPhone, when there was no iTunes Store to tempt iPhone owners with its wares. Can you imagine? Without applications, no songs, and no videos for buy directly from your phone? It beat all the mind.
At TUAW, we are doing our part for the “Free the iTunes Store” movement in Mauritius. Reader Marc, who works for Mauritian Apple reseller Paoma, notes “Thousands of iPhones, Without applications! We are hoping to get Apple to take notice and include us. A Facebook page has been created to to document the movement and we have provided leadership in many leading French language Apple blogs.”
Well, Marc, now you have a leading English language blog of Apple taking up the cause as well. If you want to help iPhone users get their own iTunes Store in Mauritius, consider visiting the Facebook page and joining their group.
