@Jeremy, Concerning your point 2), thanks to Saurik you can see all the apps on http://www.cyrket.com
Sure, I agree, it should not prevent Google to release an official web based app catalog. Having a device only catalog tool is just a real pain, not marketing friendly and does not help developers to see the user comments easily. I also backup you: I bought an ADP1 for the same reasons. Seeing that ADP1 does not have currently an update to 1.1 is a pure non sense (yes, yes, I have done my home work about looking for it and found/ read many interesting posts and looked at http://andblogs.net/images/ but I want a REAL, OFFICIAL udpate from Google for the ADP1) Fabrice On Feb 21, 2:42 pm, Java Developer <[email protected]> wrote: > Jeremy, > > I absolutely agree.
