And AOSP doesn't have google market, nor have they offered it for download. So um.. yeah. Nice try though! (Some things are less equal though, such as protected apps - the api to do that is not accessible to other market apps, making it significantly less equal. For a while, the ability to install apps the same way google market did was locked - instead you had to go through the browser-download method - but I believe that has been fixed.) > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > TreKing <http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking> - Chicago > transit tracking app for Android-powered devices > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Android Discuss" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected]<android-discuss%[email protected]> > . > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/android-discuss?hl=en. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
