Unless I'm missing something, that still seems to back up Matt's statement. There's a note on that page that some apps can now be downloaded from the marketplace, but it's important to realise that the marketplace app itself is one such binary-only app that you can't legally get unless it came with your phone. There _are_ links to downloads of the google apps on that wiki, but I expect it's illegal to distribute them, and maybe even to download them. _______________________________________________ Free-software-melb mailing list Free-software-melb@lists.softwarefreedom.com.au http://lists.softwarefreedom.com.au/mailman/listinfo/free-software-melb
