Android is useless where I live because all paid apps (or with an in app purchase) are impossible to install. I'm still wondering why Google doesn't want my money, it's just another Visa card afger all. (Apple store works perfectly)
There are very many good Android apps that do not cost anything, nor do they have any in-app purchases. You shouldn't write off the entire platform just because they won't let you buy apps.
There are really cool free apps but they're drowned into scams and poor clones. And most games are impossible to install. Feels like having Windows and being stuck with minesweeper and sharewares floppys.
Where do you live?

I read that since your uplink is via the African continent, geolocation by IP often assumes you are there, rather than in an EU member state. Is that true, and could you share some experiences of being blocked (maybe even from French content)? Happy to email about this christopher.clayATjuliareda.eu
