iPhone App Store cripped for Canadians — Workaround found….

So you have purchased a wonderful new idevice…  Plan to put many iApps, and have some iPlay time.  But you find out that you cannot download some basic apps like “GOOGLE Mobile”  which apparently kicks serious butt — along with a few other US only applications.

Well a solution has been found – thanks to the people over at http://www.howardforums.com  this is now possible.

So we take no credit – only credit for showing you that it exists…

So here’s how it works….

1)  Click HERE and get a redemtion code for a “free song”

2)  Copy that code.

3)  Open your iTunes, open the iTunes Store,  click on your account name in the top right corner just below the search window, and select SIGN OUT

4)  Now scroll all the way to the bottom, very bottom, in the centre there’s a thing that lets you select which store you are in — pick United States

5)  Scroll back up once it’s changed — click REDEEM

6)  Follow the steps to redeem, when it asks for your iTunes account — DO NOT ENTER IT — select CREATE, and now create an account, once you get to billing address just put in any valid BS address you want, under billing type — put none.  This won’t allow you to buy stuff, but we are only here for the free stuff.

7)  Once it’s done — you are now logged in as your “US” account and can download those apps at will.

8)  Sync — sign back out — sign back in as your canadian store, and you are happy!

Warning — if this bricks your phone, erases your computer, causes physical harm to you, or anyone you know — don’t look at us — we warned you.
