Because, of course, that's how it works on Windows: all apps are sold only through one store. Oh, no, wait, that's not right. Well, then, for OS X, you can only buy apps in one place, right? Ummm, no, that's not right either. Linux? No. Windows Mobile? Wrong. Symbian? Of course not. Palm (in the pre-WebOS days)? Nope. In fact, most of the devices you have used in your lifetime had a multitude of places to get apps. Some apps are distributed through some stores, some through others, and some are only sold direct. Android is no different. This is a good thing, since the Android Market is not exactly a world-beater. > that > is a store other then the google store which isn't working for me > right now and with no tech support or road map telling me this will be > fixed for all i know nothing will happen ever (not that i actually > believe that). That would be a question for Rogers, as would be any questions you would have regarding any other mobile device you bought from Rogers. I would expect they might have a phone number for technical support; you might consider calling them. Of course, I haven't heard too much good about Rogers, so perhaps you have called them and they were unable to answer your questions. This, however, is not really an end-user technical support list, so you should not expect to get authoritative answers here. You might get lucky, but you might not. > personally i'm hoping that the following will happen > 1. a voting brainstorm site be set up You're welcome to set one up. But unless you are going to gather the team to implement the highly-voted items, you will need to somehow convince the core Android team to pay attention to your voting site. > 3. the epic fail force quit bugs be fixed before the gphone is branded > an epic fail Follow your own advice and return your phone. If you have not installed third-party applications (lack of Market and lack of trust in the other sources), force-quit errors are not going to be from third-party software you installed. Hence, rampant force-quit issues may well be related to hardware issues. So, replace the phone, and see if the replacement works better. It appears Rogers has also made other tweaks to the Android environment on its device, based on previous threads, so it may be the problem is endemic to Rogers' version of the HTC Dream. Regardless, your source for assistance is Rogers much more than it is here. > 4. the sdk get fully released No SDK is ever "fully released", insofar as they always change over time. At least until they're dead -- I doubt the 16-bit Windows SDK has been modified in a while. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _Android Programming Tutorials_ Version 1.0 In Print! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
