Can't you buy apps on the google play website that don't support your device? https://play.google.com

No you can't. It asks what device you would like to install the apps on upon purchase. Its probable a good thing, who wants lots of bad ratings because their device isn't supported? Especially when you shouldn't have bought it in the first place. What you can do is change your build.prop to make Google Play think you have a better more widely supported device, then buy your apps. I won't explain how because there are literally hundreds of tutorials on these forums explaining how.

Um, look at it from a developers point of view, people down voting your app because their phone isn't powerful enough to run your app/game. They have it right and should keep it how it is.

No, seeing as some devs never update their compatibility list, MANY compatible devices are left out in the cold. Or what if I plan on getting a tegra 3 device in a month, and a tegra exclusive game goes on sale now? Why can't I buy it?
My point is Google should allow people to download incompatible apps. If you do a warning pops up "This device is listed as incompatible, download at your own risk". You are also barred from rating said app, positive or negative.
This can also be enhanced by extending the ridiculously short 15min return time.

bought like 10 apps over the past 2 days with the $25 credit.

And since I can make phone calls with my N7, is it technically a phone????

Good luck policing this one unless they start shipping them from the factory unable to unlock. Seriously these lawmakers can go eat a d1ck, all this bs they are doing is just in the name of money.

Also wtf, " For example, an ebook reading device might be considered a “tablet,” as might a handheld video game device or a laptop computer." Can you be more broad when it comes to description? I guess you can't because then you would be Apple. :silly:
If a tablet has a 3g modem is it a phone then or a tablet? Have fun trying to classify these things, especially when tablets are just blown up phones with or without the modem. Our government is morons.
Google allows the unlocking of their devices, so you have nothing to worry about as long as you buy nexus. Even if you don't buy a nexus device, I don't see how the law could be properly enforced. I wouldn't worry.
I'll do what I want.

doesn't even have to be a nexus device, any android device is safe since it's open source from Google.
Plus unlike Apple, don't see Google suing anyone for unlocking or rooting their os.
Google allows us to unlock...pretty darn easily actually.
What's gonna happen when root methods are provided outside the US?
IMO the whole thing is stupid. I have paid for ALL my apps, and I refuse to use ANY Android device without root access. So why am I being punished?
I HATE ADS, and have no problem paying for apps to not have ads. However if a paid version isn't available, then I still want my ads blocked...

Google encourages us to play with at least their nexus devices. That was the entire point of having the USB port on the Nexus Q.

What about apps by developers from countries that don't have the luck to be included in the merchant account list? Their only way to monetize their hard work is ads and using their apps with ads blockers is not fair at all. If you hate ads that much, please stop using the apps that are supported by them.

Yeah, since my Nexus 7 is wifi only, how does unlocking it violate carrier rights? It's not a phone, it's a wifi tablet. Unlocking and rooting gives me access to all the hardware and features of the software, which I have rights to as the licensee. If they don't want you to have access to the full ability of the OS, they should remove it. If it's there, then it's mine to use per the license.

Once those in power are ready to take over the world, they'll need more than just gun control laws to round up the masses for reeducation. Phone and tab modification should give them the reason to round up several more million citizens for reeducation.
Worry when the next Android release is called "Soma".

I read thru all the below comments.. This new law does not make it legal to unlock your device. It puts the control into the hands of your devices carrier as to rather you can unlock it or not. Now the carriers all just need to do like at&t has been firm on.Just say NO unlocked devices allowed on there Network.. This is a step back word in my opinion. I hear about people all the time jail breaking there i phone or ipad to side load pirated apps. They say i tunes charge to much for them. But the android community STRONGLY screams to everyone to pay the developers for the apps. Android apps are reasonable priced as well. This is due to the developer having more control and giving less money to google.. I think this will be the way into the future.To make devices and phones even more disposable.. I so hope google stands up and puts this crap away.
If xda follows this new law. They will have to take down every hack for every tablet and get permission from phone carriers to post the ability to unlock and root phones on there networks.. NEXUS Phones tied to a carrier follows the same laws .
if i read incorrectly please explain to me..

Not quite correct. This just means that carrier unlocking is no longer exempted from the DMCA. In other words, OEMs can sue folks that post a narrow scope of exploits. This pretty much is a moot point considering that the only OEM that was doing this was Apple and the Jesus Phone is no longer exclusive to big blue. As there never was an exemption specific to tablets, nothing there has changed. DMCA exemptions are reviewed and revised every three years.
There's a lot of hystronics and FUD going on about this, driven partly by a desire to generate traffic to certain sites I'm sure. In the end, it is just as I said before... much ado about nothing. The sky is not any closer to falling than it was twelve months ago.

Look at those guys on the video! They are so cool, speaking with such humility and Never ever comparing their work to some other contender. I like that and i feel comfortable buy their devices and using their services.
With such prices I can't complain much about the lack of sd slot or removable battery.

I do not want to be the asshole here but should we really support someone who has not enough money to buy the glasses to take a loan to get them? I think we should help op rethink this they will be avaible in a cheaper and more consumer ready version within a year or something. but his loan will be influenceing him for at least that time. if you haven't $1500 as playmoney you should never spend it on something like that use ur money for education so that you have 1500$ as playmoney soon.
