Rejoice iphone users! After some lobbying by mauritian iphone owners, Apple has finally launched Mauritius’ own iphone App Store.

Uptil now I have been using South Africa’s App Store to buy applications for my iphone. It was one of the few which accepted mauritian credit cards.

We can also now create iphone apps targeting the Mauritian Market. Guess I should give iphone app development a shot. For that unfortunately I need a mac. The perfect excuse to buy one.

Heard Android Apps are also gaining some pace these days and its based on Java. Most importantly it does not require any specific expensive platform for development.
