Apple iPad mini. What Rubbish

TL;DR: Author is in South-Africa and does not have access to 80%[1] of the apps that are available in the US and "European" stores. He's not ranting about the iPad mini, but about the availability of apps.

What a stupid title.

I'm in India and often I see 'this app is not available in this appstore' message (I never kept a count, but it won't be 80%). Since there is no alternative way to load apps, distinction between hardware & software doesn't exist in iPad. If no apps, the device is useless.

Does anyone know why most of these apps are released in only some countries? What is holding back developers from just releasing globally?
