    Just downloaded ''google serach by voice'' , works very well. However, I had to stick a UK sim in my phone to get it. I'm sure there are many more quality free apps missing from the Irish Android store, buy why?

    Some apps, although free are protected. This means that while free they are only available in countries that Google support for paid market purchases. That's why they don't show up in the "irish android store".

    The Amazon app is another example which we can't get here unless rooted or using an alternate sim.

    Some devices wont be supported by certain apps too, so thats another reason why an app might not show up.
