Thanks, I did not know that (I'm curious to know how Google knows I'm the one buying though). I've used my wife's Google phone and ran into the same problem ...
If you search in the market, you you find ambu and ambu-trial (the later being a 2 day free version of the app). I did not restrict the app to a given country and people in Europe were able to purchase it. I'd love to confirm that someone can buy it in the US. Your help is very much appreciated.
