Getting this image now, maybe too many people checking out the store?

But I can sign in at least.

Really love the fact that you click install and your phone magically starts installing it over the air.:D

Google FTW

CombatCow · 02-02-2011 10:49pm

Ahhh so cool, love it!

"click, click, this will be installed to your device shortly".

Brilliant.

Awesomesauce! Now if only they released some sorting options it would be perfect

I hit a problem when trying to buy Seekdroid.

"We're sorry. Your order references a fraudulent user".

Pretty odd. I have my CC details correct on the account.

Ron DMC · 03-02-2011 2:10am

Anyone else get this?

There are no android phones associated with this account. Please sign in with a different account.

I've tried both a google account and a google apps account, both of which are associated with the phone for mail, market and whatever else on the phone. Do I need to associate the phone via the computer as well or what?

Its great and it works, but it shows my Desire as "Meteor Phone"

Im on e-Mobile :-p

Inquitus · 03-02-2011 12:50pm

I get it in German

Scotty # · 03-02-2011 1:06pm

About time!

Working perfect for me but ability to uninstall via market would be a nice feature.

JoseJones · 03-02-2011 6:04pm

Is there any way you can install apps via USB so that you don't have to use the data connection?

Not from the Web market
All in the cloud

Yes but you need the .apk file. There are loads of sites offering the APK's but be warned! They may not be what they claim to be. You will have no idea what is actually being installed on your phone. A google search for 'Android apk download' will get you started.

PS: Most apps are only a few KB's... I wouldn't worry about using data line to download them.

Breezer · 03-02-2011 8:36pm

This rocks. Far better than the iTunes App Store syncing. I can't wait for Google to get music in the Market. Did anything ever come of the talks/agreement/whatever with 7Digital?

spartacus93 · 03-02-2011 10:26pm

Deadly!

Thanks for the link OP. Long overdue by Google.

Love the way it auto - installs the app on your phone.

Excellent, thanks for that! The reason I don't want to use my data allowance is that as soon as I use it I'm charged 99c (I think!) for the day and I'm unlikely to use it for the rest of the day so it's a waste to spend 99c just to get an app when I can download it on the PC.

Scotty # · 05-02-2011 12:04pm

I presume then that you lcok your data connection OFF as most apps will connect (for ads) anyway?

Breezer · 05-02-2011 6:50pm

There doesn't seem to be a way to uninstall apps from your phone using this, or am I missing something?

Yeah you can't do that (yet) ! It's basic website from google which I say they will update soon enough to get features.

Maybe take a few features from http://www.appbrain.com/ Hot apps this week is a feature I would like to see
