Title: Re: AUGD: Middle East Liaison?
Walaikum assalam
Lack of Egyptian App store may not be all Apple's fault. Why does
the Egyptian government prohibit civilian use of GPS? How would Apple
deal with Apps in it's store that won't work as advertised because
Egyption iPhone is crippled?
Asam...
Hi All / Assalamu Alaikum,
Thanks for the
replies/support.
To Amaya,
Egyptian Apple User Group
(EAUG) started out with 1 member myself on 25 October 08 to 185
members in little over 3 month.
During this period our presence has been
mainly online, we have visitors increasing monthly by almost
300%.
We met a few times in outdoor area, and
wasn't very suitable.
In this current phase i'm trying to
organize a monthly meeting location that has audio visual equipment
for presentation (talking to universities, sports clubs, libraries,
businesses etc...).
I'm also trying to get some kind of roles
defined which members can volunteer for.
We have about 3 main Apple Premium
Resellers in Egypt, there are no Apple Inc Stores, I'm planning to
contact resellers perhaps they can support us by offering a meeting
location or product/services discounts for members.
To Magnus,
I understand; All our members are very
upset that there is no App store for Egypt. And Egypt if I'm not
mistaken is the first country in the Middle East to have the iPhone3G
launched followed by Jordan then Qatar (coming soon). Imagine that?
the coolest thing about the iPhone is in my opinion the App Store,
everyone here love Apple products specially the iPhone.
So if you want to download Apps you have
two choices, a) fake a US address or perhaps use an address of a
relative living there or a business branch, and then buy gift cards to
charge you account. The other path is illegal via cracked
applications.
I promised our UG that their cry for an
App store would be heard, I need advise on what to do here, and who to
contact?
Thanks
