Yes, this is probably my biggest frustration with using my Apple devices. Having to buy vouchers from middle men (who is all taking their cut) .

This is definitely my #1 criteria when i will be buying my next device : How accessible is the software and services in South Africa.

Well to one degree or another pretty much all devices are crippled in this country. Even the PS3 is crippled because we dont get all of the games or the VOD or music services. Same with Xbox live. Until the local media content holders decide that its time to open SA up to what the rest of the world has had for several years now, we will continue to live with crippled services, no matter what device or platform we choose. It is not just Apple's fault that we dont have iTunes or games in SA. As i said earlier, the problem is deeper than just laying the blame with one company.....and one which many in SA are too eager to hate for no good reason.

Apple: Get a US account + vouchers or Kenya + SA Credit card
Android: Games work as normal, Need a proxy/VPN for music+books

Face it, Apple does not care about you. And you are still buying their products, so you are encouraging them to go on the way they have been going on. Let your money speak. Just don't buy their products if you are not happy with how they operate. It will not change, because their phones will sell regardless.

+1.

Its just like how people buy an Apple device and jailbreak it.

Noob question, where's the best place to purchase vouchers?

Simply more fodder for the anti Apple brigade...

Ps... if you look past the typical anti Apple rhetoric; you'll realize the situation is all thanks to our dear Gov; so rather send your flame posts to http://www.fpb.gov.za
