Mauritius to Apple: Thanks for the iPhones, can we haz iTunes Store?

[NameOfBeast]

Recently, the people of the island republic of Mauritius have been able to purchase the iPhone 3G and 3GS through mobile phone provider Orange, but there's one major problem -- there's no access to an iTunes Store. This brings back memories of the original iPhone, when there was no iTunes Store to tempt iPhone owners with its wares. Can you imagine? No apps, no songs, and no videos for purchase directly from your phone? It boggles the mind.

Actually most US stores will ship you cds, dvds and software anywhere in the world. In this case Apple is rotten, although, their stuff is DRM free.

I dunno. Tell it to the idiots in EMI, Sony-BMG, Warner etc.
