I just got my apple iPad2 this week. I have registers for apple ID etc. My region is South Africa. I have found that there are lots of apps and games that I can't get access to because of my region. Why is this? Surely iPad users globally should have access to the same apps!? I am pretty dissappointed in this. I can't even get "angry birds".
