Same here on my SIM-less G1. I think that if you have a Android phone without a SIM (but with a working WiFi connection),you can only get free apps.
This probably something to do with the revenue sharing of paid apps. The bulk of the 30% cut that is taken from a developer's app's price goes to carriers. If you have no SIM, then which carrier would get the bulk of that 30%?
