Google Play and $0.49 apps! - Epic 4G General

Soo, noticed the Market, Books, and Music are all being rolled into what they've dubbed "Google Play"
as a side note.. here's a list of apps on sale for $0.49 because of the update/change!

So does the nexus get play wallet with play money? And android renamed play phone?

Lol...
Sounds like a pretty bad choice of name when you put it that way..

Odd branding change. If anything, I figured it would have been "Google Market". Going away from the Market (Marketplace) name could be a bad advertising drawback, as ads mention "Google Market(place)" specifically.
Not a big fan, but I guess it is their apps that we use.

The name change is to prevent lawsuits btw.

Source? I go on almost every major tech blog/news site and not once have I seen "prevent lawsuits" to be the reason.

Woops. I did not see this thread LOL
I like the new name/update. Yeah, it screws up with the whole advertising scene, but eh... the market is slowly becoming a more refined/dynamic experience at the same time :3

They do have some pretty good cheap games. Got deadspace and world of goo. Both pretty fun.

Old as in what? Someone in their 80's? Myself and quite a few others are grandparents on here...so what exactly did you mean?

I wonder if this will annoy Sony, considering they have an Android device called Play.
I just think the whole thing is jarring. The market app right now is telling me to 'play' a book. I don't think that word means what they think it means.

Google/Sprint Removing Non Market Apps

Did anyone else have music junk or any other apps get uninstalled? I went to use it earlier and found it was no longer there.

It's been a long day and this just really irks me. This is my first android phone and I was under the impression I wouldn't have to worry about anyone trying to dictate what I can and cant do on it.
If it was something I did then no biggie, but if others are having the same thing happen to them then I would like to know why it is happening and how to stop it.

lol, lots of coffee and quitting smoking cold turkey will do that to you
It's just you or something you did. Google has only used the "remotely remove" feature once to the best of my memory, and it was for a pair of very suspicious apps.
Isn't this something that apple does for their android phones? I don't see it happening on sprint, but it wouldn't doubt me if apple did. Just a though...

On a serious note, OP should change the thread name. This is the kind of sensationalist conclusion-jumping that only tech blogs are known for.

Emulators pulled from market

seems as if some emulators were pulled would this mean that there wont be anymore emulator on the android market and i remember this happening to the psx emulator as well
http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/29/android-markets-most-popular-emulators-disappear-without-a-trac/
Here is the link for the emulators taken down
https://slideme.org/user/yongzh
The emulator I just downloaded from Amazon app store is gone too. Amazingly enough the bios are still there.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
It doesn't make sense that they just now pulled them down... If google didn't want them on the market why did it take them so long to take them off?
Something seems a bit fishy.
I really want to track down the psx emulator still, does it work well on the EVO?
i noticed that to. i bought the damn things, if i cant use em, refund me. ><

In the comments people are talking about the fact that apparently the developer of these emulators that were pulled stole some of his code from someone else.
[A GPL violation]
idc if he stole it or not, if i paid for em, then i shouldve at the LEAST gotten an email saying they were being pulled, if not a full refund.

dangit can't find either in the market wtf
I like the game but I can't see texts when they come if I'm playing. My notification light blinks and I have to ask whoever I'm texting to resend. I think it might be because of high minfree's. Happened on MikG and Synergy
Are they only in market if you have GB? If not whats the exact title of the game if you dont mind b/c i can't find either of em.
This is in the Amazon app store only.

i was having a hard time stopping playing too.....
until i reached level 4-3, and now my EVO goes into a reboot halfway through the level. anybody else experiencing this?
awesome game though. glad i scooped it up when it was free on amazon.
While there's little difference in terms of content, PvZ is actually MORE addicting on a laptop (andahemahemiPadahemahem). Cheers to the Amazon app store.

Not a Goodbye thread

So I got a Epic Touch for a reasonable price that should be arriving tomorrow. Not getting rid of my Epic, but it won't be on a line. I'll be happy to test anything for people. Please feel free to contact me. I'll be lurking and helping here still. Not to fear.
Let us know how it is going from epic's QWERTY to no-keyboard.
The keyboard options for new phones are sparse and not terribly viable (droid 4's display, bootloader, etc).
It will soon be time for all of us to move on, and life in the non-qwerty world seems daunting!

Don't get heated over the comment I made I was joking. And you should read about Apple's pull down. It's like they stole and manipulated in a way that Google could sue, but will fail in doing so.

Omg when my sister upgraded to the 4S on att I played with it for a bit and she got a text and I saw a little symbol in the "notification bar" uptop and habitually swiped down and forgot I was on an iphone lmfao I was like "O.O and they sue google partners over **** that people can't even see?"
I wish we had "technology courts" or something that will have judges who specialize in electronics and will actually know when a company is suing, that company also has parts blatantly stolen from "company b".
One thing I admire about apple is their control over the sheeple. Its so amazing!
