Independence: 17 February 2008 (from Serbia)

Or do you have other informations?

The international recognition of that act of independence is a bit dubious though. Serbia doesn't seem to acknowledge it either, for that matter.

Ja jongen, die poppenfokkers deserve apps man.

Great new way to teach children about the world: memorize appstores.. hah

Hey man, I happen to be from Suriname :V

Can anyone tell me what will happen if I change my region from USA to Trinidad?

Will I lose my current apps or will I be able to keep them but not be able to update them if an update comes out for an app not available in the Trinidad store?

Has anyone had trouble accessing their account info in iTunes? I am currently unable to change my payment info.

One thing amazing about AppStore is the reach to international customers. There are still many countries left out in the Android Market, and for Amazon appstore, it is US only. Apparently Apple did a great job.

You won't lose the apps you have downloaded, but some apps are only available in the US Store. The best thing you can do is to keep your US account and create a new one for the Trinidad Store (with a different e-mail).

I have an US and a Costa Rica account. I can download apps from both stores, when I have to update an app, the App Store Application (Mac) or the App Store (iPhone) asks me for the password for the respective account.

I have lived in Taiwan for the past 7 years and kept using my US account without any problems. You just need a US method of payment.
