Uncovered: The reason why Maps is missing from Apple Singapore's iPad page

After some digging around, I've been able to confirm that Maps will indeed be available on the iPad when it is released in Singapore. I've been given to understand that Maps is missing from Apple Singapore's iPad features page because there are issues with promoting Google Maps in Singapore. What are those issues? Your guess is as good as mine.

Still, good news that the iPad will only be slightly crippled when it hits our shores. Now if only Apple would bring in iTunes and iBook store.

Very interesting. I'm curious enough to go compare the iPhone 3GS pages of SG and US, and it's the same, i.e. Maps + Compass not featured on the SG site.
