This app is what the app store should be in conjunction with appbrain.com. I just found it tonight but man it is awesome for those of us always looking for cool new and not so common apps.
It also has recommended apps on the site. The app mainly syncs phone with the website and its all FREE CLICK HERE for the site.

Hey everyone
Loving my G2... one quick question tho... I just setup appbrain, and according to its update manager, a bunch of my preinstalled apps like twitter, streetview and like 6 or 7 others need to be updated, but in the market app, it doesn't show any need to be updated... is it safe to let appbrain update them? Thanks!

I manually updated a number of the pre-installed apps through the market on the phone. No issues here, except they now register updates correctly
Haha yea apparently the twitter app is from september and id imagine there's been an update since then... I guess ill give it a try and update the ones its recommending, but ill manually check them in the market first to be sure...

Oh one addition... just using twitter as an example... just went to the market and it says its "Free" ... as in not installed and u can download now for free... is this kinda weird?

I'm assuming it's normal behavior, both android phones I've had have done this with pre-installed apps (or the gapps package from cyanogen's mod). They don't seem to sync with market. Reinstalling the market one over the pre-installed just updates (if it's a different version) and syncs to market for future updates.
Except for Google Goggles right now

The Market app doesn't search your phone for apps and then check the market. When you install an app from the market, your phone gets some sort of cached entry that says "we just installed XXXX, make sure you check to see if XXXX has updates." So if you didn't have to install the app, then you won't be notified of updates for that app. Or something that's provides a similar end result. It's always been that way.
Cool. Thanks for the info. That's what I needed to know
I love this phone...

What is it... Cant find
Zinio is a magazine reading application. At the moment comes with some free magazines.

This app is exactly what I've been looking for, lots magazines with reasonable price.
However, its very slow to navigate and zoom within a magazine. I even got a warning for "System encountered low memory" for the first time on the Xoom.
So I'm not going to buy any magazines or subscription until the app becomes more usable.
Hopefully new update is in the work.
Coming from an Ipad, I was very much looking forward to this being released. The program is ok, relatively slow as well. Sadly, the national geographic subscription I paid for will not work on honeycomb yet.
I love the android market and all of the free apps, but a large problem with it is that some of the apps do not have a paid version that removes the ads on them.
What is a good ad blocker for the Motorola Atrix?
Adfree works well.
A better, nicer looking, open source alternative is to use AdAway.

My preference is the ROM Toolbox by JRummy16.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jrummy.liberty.toolboxpro#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDIxMiwiY29tLmpydW1teS5saWJlcnR5LnRvb2xib3hwcm8iXQ..
There is also a free version.
I find, that tweaking /system/etc/hosts file (like here: h**p://someonewhocares.org/hosts/ ) results in quite good ad blocking mechanism (some rom's already do that "out of the box"). You'll need root for that though.
cheers
All the suggestions in this thread are good, however make sure you download and install "Airpush Detector".
Sadly more and more App are sneaking in Airpush malware inside their apps and "Airpush Detector" does a solid job finding them.
Finally if you do find a "suspect App" having this malware, please put it in the Market comments that the App has it so we can cut down on this BS...

tried it, it didn't do anything for game ads on my atrix.
i like the rest of the app though... i was able to uninstall a few of my other root apps in place of it.
Adfree here. Works well.

That's weird, because it worked for me in a bunch of my apps (Reckless Racing, Pandora, Google Reader, etc). I have a stupid question and I'll ask if you applied the four different types of blocks (Ads, Porn, Casino, Risky)?
new google play apk.

Thank you, it works on RCMixS (android 2.3.3)
It is very smooth on cyanogen. But i bet it'll lag a bit on sense roms.
Play Market, silly name. Sounds more like a toy shop.
I've had some problems connecting to and downloading apps using mobile data on Sandvold ICS. Using WiFi usually works.
Here is version 3.4.7 (just check OP's version 3.4.6).
Hope OP doesn't mind I post the updated version here.

That's exactly what I thought when the name and icon changed to "Play Shop" unexpectedly. I thought perhaps they were launching a seperate one just for games and entertainment, keeping apps seperate or something.
It's smooth on Redux 1.2
thanks
Thank you!!

And you probably got that xda premium app there for free right?
The new market is absolutely brilliant! Great smooth transitions and elegant graphics! ICS Style baby!
Why google play says "your device isn't compitable with this item" when looking Death rally (free)? Tried already to clear market (google play) data and cache but that didn't help.

Yes Google Play is more fast than Android Market. But he's capricious with Market Link

Supports Google Play Store 3.5.15. Please note: Play Store is capricious with Market links because it relies more on Google's servers. If you want more control we encourage you to ask Google. It's their app. Let them know the goal you want to achieve. Once they provide a way, we'll give you full control of it!

I never use the app... web browsing is far comfortable to use and my apps are automatically updated. No lost time.
The only missing feature to the website is the installed applications on the device (from GPlay...).
it seems there are many market of application.
Now, I put my app in Google play store.
Dose anyone submit app to amazon? how about the downloads at there?
Except Google play store and Amazon, are there any other recommendation?
