its not google's beef, its your government. As far as I know its illigal to take pics of government buildings in Ke right? So google has to comply and not serve kenyans with those pics... am no one legal but its something to do with government policies so thats where you should be looking for answers

Subject: [Skunkworks] Google Maps on iPad

So, I have this pilot colleague who has been bugging me for some time now, that I install Google Maps on his iPad. I am not like the Ok3ch'es of Apple Cult, so I actually don't have an iPad to play with. It's been a hell handling this but finally we found the clue. We could not get this app because on his Itunes Account, the country was set to Kenya.
At some point, an error on iTunes store became so helpful. It told us the App is not allowed for this damn country.

So all we did was to change the country to the UK, and then enter a UK address as the shipping address and voila!

I hate Apple. Why do they think that Kenyans should not run Google Maps on iPad?
