Thanks!

Welcome to the AF Forums and enjoy your visits !!

The market isn't as much regional as it is the apps that developers decide what market they want their apps to appear in ... however there may be Markets that do not have access to certain apps or like just paid apps ...

Right now .. it is a thing that cant be totally explained to a reasonable end. So it is a try and see in many cases ...

Maybe othe HK users can give you more info ...

I would suggest you also post your question in the HERO forums to get the best possible responses .
