What kind of impact do you guys this will have on the market?

Can you be a little more specific?
And a little less vague?
It's like dejavous all over again.
I don't know how this is being vague. In app purchases are new to the android marketplace apparently. The ability to buy more content via an app. Do you think this will bring in more apps because a lot of apps from iOS had that ability and that's what the developers of those apps are waiting for? Games like Tap Tap revenge didn't come to the market until the option for in app purchases were available. Will this bring more popular apps into the marketplace?

Anyone else unable to download paid apps from the market?

It's only available in some countries.
Does GRH78 have a usable Market fingerprint yet?
Paid apps, or PROTECTED apps. They're not the same thing.
This was an issue for everyone, but Google seemed to have fixed it for most of us.
Yes, GRH78 now has a usable Market fingerprint.

When did AT&T finally start let us AT&T guys use the Amazon App store? I noticed today I can now get the Apps there. I know I signed up to be notified when this would start but didn't get an email or I just missed it. I was able to get my 1st Free App this Morning....
if you rooted your phone and then enabled non-market apps, then you could have been using it all along.
i've been using it since they started it, although the free apps have been really sucky lately.

LOL.. I am Rooted didn't know I could been doing it.
Thanks
Yeah, I had it the first day.
The first apps they gave out were awesome, now its all bull****.
Not to mention a lot of their apps are older versions, and Amazon's customer service is mostly phone call based, you can't get the problem solved with email alone.

The free app is decent about once/week..but that's a far sight better than nothing
just keep in mind that whatever app you download from the amazon market, requires amazon market to be installed if you restore it in the future (via TiBu or similar app). You cannot restore an amazon app and exclude the market
Good to know, I didn't realize that. Though I did have a few issues early on with apps not... "authenticating" I think, it's been a while since I've seen it happen tbh.

I restore apps from amazon market by using TiBu and haven't had issues. Is it because I am also restoring amazon market at the same time that I haven't had issues?

Exactly. If you ever uninstall amazon market (or not restore it with tibu) they won't work anymore. I know this pisses off some people, but I don't think it's really that big a deal.
Not really, just leave it on, check the free app daily, otherwise leave it alone. But get any normally free apps from the main market, Amazon's evaluation process keeps them a version behind on most from what I saw.

me neither. I like to see what they offer each day. Once in a while, it's a really good app. I wonder if Freezing the amazon market will still allow you to use the apps from it.

Out of curiosity I just tested this. Freezing the Amazon Appstore causes both "Free Apps of the Day" and also regularly purchased paid apps to stop working. If you buy it on Amazon you have to keep the Appstore running and signed in to your account. I suppose I'll direct my future purchases toward the Google Market based on that and a few other variables.
Why do people care that amazon appstore needs to be installed for apps to work? Is anyone planning to uninstall it? The android market is installed and I don't think too many folks plan to uninstall it
I don't like being forced to keep the amazon store open, but I understand the need to. Otherwise they'd have to fiddle with every paid app so it checks with their servers not google to see if it's authentic. They're behind enough on their versions already.
Its also a bit annoying if you forget to install the amazon store with your backup.

changelog:
Adds +1 For Apps And Games, Pin Number For Purchases, And More…
there’s a brand-new settings menu, as well as click-to-read explanations of app permissions (not developer customizable, unfortunately). There’s also a brand-new Market icon to spruce things up.
Oh, and did we mention you can now use a custom PIN for purchases on your phone, instead of leaving your Google Checkout wide open for anyone that picks up your device? If you have kids, or your phone is stolen, this is one awesome feature to have – and really, it makes a lot of sense.
Root access is not required, but you’ll need Unknown Sources enabled in the Settings -> Applications menu to install it.
will the market be updated to this anyways? does it show all apps or not?
Eh I don't know don't feel so sure about This.

After screwing around with the new apk for 15 mins, it seems the missing apps problem may be fixed. I am currently holding my breath though...
Edit - immediately after making this post the problem returned. I can stop holding my breath now.
just installed. Seems ok.
How do I install? -1.bin , right?

lol you guys think i would really post a virus or something. i found it. if you dont believe its true google android market 3.1.3. and yes the missing apps thing is there still. i use titanium backup. market doctor feature to fix that tho
For some reason this market is showing all apps for me that I've installed from Amazon store as if they need updating. When I yet updating them, it fails but still shows as if needing to be updated. That's annoying.

yea no kidding. if you have titanium backup you can detach those apps from the market so they wont show updating. those are apps from the amazon app store i think, love the +1 feature

What is a +1 feature? Can't figure it out..
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Moved to apps..........
+1 is a new google plus feature. if you go into the market and look at an app it will have the option to +1 it which is equivalent to liking a status on facebook. you can +1 websites and links. and all the links you've +1's can be viewed on your google plus
Market updates
Any ideas as to why the android market is not retrievable from the android market...other than the recursive need for the market in the first place
Loving the pin security, thanks for this.
I have no idea how to install this

I'd say that if you get it via the Amazon store, you'll have access to future upgrades that you probably won't get with Samsung's version.
I did what I normally due with most of these Amazon freebies. I purchase them, it starts the download, and then I cancel the install.
If I ever happen to need that program in the future, I just go to the Amazon App Store and its waiting to be downloaded and installed.
That's a pretty cool idea actually.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Yeah, it works well and I don't have 100 different apps cluttering up my phone and taking up space. The annoying part is that when I open the Amazon App store I always have 20+ apps waiting to be downloaded. I have to scroll through a list to find out what I have. Plus, I haven't found a way to delete a program I no longer want.
I tried downloading QuickOffice Pro from the Amazon App store yesterday many times throughout the day, and kept getting an error. So much for getting it free.
Searched but can't find an answer to this. Probably because I wouldn't know what words someone else has used in Q or A...
Is there an alternate source for Apps for my TAB that I can access on the TAB just like the Market/Google Play or failing that on a PC and easily install via some other method?
I guess what I am asking is: Anyone who makes an App, do they automatically put it up on the Market or do some developers prefer not to, and therefore is there another central access point, or do I have to web search them and go to their site to get them?
confusing post. There is the google play store, the Amazon app store, Getjar, and appslib market places to get apps from.
Most developers will list their apps with one or more of those app stores.
Unless of course you are looking for Warez matey. That be goin' against forum rules. Arrr. ;-)

Not sure why its confusing.
I only know of (knew of) the Market (now Google Play) cos its the stock standard link included on my TAB and SG2. Aside from Samsung Apps.
Not after warez, just wondering weather all apps make it to GP or if thewre is other places. Will have a look for the others.
Just downloaded and installed appslib APK and got the message "Sorry, but your device is not compatible with AppsLib."
SGT7 Overcome 4.1.0
Th getjar seems a little sparse.
to ensure high compatibility,
I usually re-set my dpi to 240,
clear market data and reboot.
then launch market again

I have never seen any dpi settings. Where would these be? How would resolution affect weather the appslib works or not?
Which market are you referring to - Google Play or appslib?
Dpi affect Play
/system/build.prop
ro.sf.lcd_density=240
But I misread your post. You downloaded an apk and install it manually.
The dpi setting only affect when you search apps in Play.
