Hey Apple, Hong Kong is not a country

A map of Hong Kong, a special administrative region of China

This as an excerpt from today’s App Industry Report on Appolcious.com.

Perhaps Apple should use its iPad to create a geography course.

Apple released a press release Monday morning and it had nothing to do with the iPhone 4′s antenna.

Rather, it focused on the iPad, the clear hit of 2010 for the company that has the innovation lead in touch-screen devices. On Friday, the iPad will launch in nine additional countries: Austria, Belgium, Hong Kong, Ireland, Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand and Singapore, according to Apple’s official press release.

Well, that should be eight countries. Hong Kong is not a country.

Hong Kong is an odd duck of a place, certainly, but since 1997, it has officially been part of China. Despite that geography lapse, the iPad is now offered in 18 countries and one special administrative region.
