For both Google & Apple (to say nothing of Micro$oft & other IT vendors) the USA (or possibly Europe) is the centre of the universe.

Many parts of the third world do not have ANY internet and patchy cellphone reception. Ok, the market is tiny, but it's still a market.

Personally, until connectivity is 100% reliable, I prefer Apple's "client server" approach - when the net is up - great! and data is backed up; when it's down (as Skype was recently), life and computing can go on.
