    Probably one of the most notable features of Android is the ability to download apps from the Android Market. Simply select the Market icon and you’ll be treated to nearly 40,000 applications to choose from. However, things aren’t so simply if you just picked up the HTC Legend or the Desire. You still have access to the Android Market, but many of your favorite apps are most likely not visible to you. Apparently, Google has not updated their ROM database for the Android Market which dictates which phones can see paid and copy-protected apps. Google uses the database to limit market access to handset in countries that are not yet set up for paid apps, but until Google adds the HTC Desire and Legend to the database, your shiny new phone will be limited to the apps not marked with copy-protection. It’s unclear if this issue is affecting all versions of the two handsets or a specific subset from a certain carrier over in Europe, but we’re hoping the issue won’t last for too much longer.
