And yet if you purchase a book or a movie through the play store, you do not get charged sales tax?
The short answer: you will start paying tax soon.
The long answer: here , here, and finally direct from the source here.

Oh, I didn't think you were being a jerk by only posting links. I may be too lazy to look through the internets for a few hours to find the actual answer, but I'm not too lazy to read the provided links Which is really all I wanted.

Oh my god. DO NOT POST LINKS FROM THAT SITE...
That site does NOTHING in reporting or journalism. They make **** up and get the first link on Google to get traffic. They have zero reputable stories. Do not go to or believe anything from them. Period.
/end rant.
When you can no longer innovate sue for royalties. Consumers would be far better off with the european software patent system as opposed to the abortion we have now.

I'm not saying that specific story is fake, but they exagerate EVERYTHING, and downright lie at others... Will HTC start paying to use Android, yes.. Is it going "skyrocket the price of the Evo"? No, don't be stupid. They create headline to draw in traffic...
i was at bestbuy today the phone manager told me it would cost $200 with data contract
ttp://cgi.ebay.com/HTC-HD2-Android-2-2-Evo-Operating-System-/330486566191?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item4cf288cd2f
This is a disgrace. Anyone who exploits the hard work and unwaged development of Android/Linux on the Hd2 should know that you are only doing the community harm by discouraging devs to continue progress. You basically stole their knowledge and are hawking it off as yours. Disguisting.
This isn't the first time this had happened. Its hapoened like 5 other times thati know of. Yeah your right its messed up.
I wish there was a way to reply to his auction and scream "FRAUD!".. or give the seller negative feedback over and over again.
Damn... why didnt I think of doing that and making money... lol
Just kidding... Yeah the guy selling instructions is an asshole for sure
THUMBS DOWN!
have a look at craigslist.

I just filed a report against the item as being copyright infringement.
What an idiot, he got that picture from XDA too. I think its from mattc?
i've filed a report as well. What a low life scumbag. Wish we knew his handle on XDA so he can be banned for life.
he should send to death sentence!
ive reported it as well.
i think the best way to fix this is for everyone to file a simple report of violation of android GPL. and intellectual property.
if ebay gets enough reports of similar auctions, it will go on their banned list. unless you can prove you programmed it.
Damn why didn't I charge my friends for spending 3 hours on installing android onto their phones.
Report submitted.
Yah. I think everybody should report this..I just reported too!!!
This kind of person should be banned from xda forever!!!
Sometimes you learn more form the seller when you're in contact with him.
maybe his mailaddress is a part of his account on XDA so you'll be able to track him down.
Stay in contact as long as you can, that way you will gather more information.
This is indeed a dis-craze to all hard working developers, accept when the seller is one of the developers hare at XDA...
to all developers, don't stop because of some stupid ass, your work is really appreciated!

I don't know if it's a coincedence, but there's a user here at XDA that has the EXACT same name as the e-Bay seller.
Link to his profile is: mv1luv
I think it's time to get the mods onto this
Grtz,
Degake
p.s. The hometown of the XDA member (Bakersfield) is also the same at the e-Bay item location.... so I guess we got him

Time for the Mod's to get involved and sort this matter out, reported it to e-bay but they aren't really going to do anything which is sad, but the mods here can!
Unbelievable! Just out of curiosity I did a search for "HTC HD2 Android" on eBay and there are several other no-conscience sellers peddling instructions on how to install Android. Outrageous! One seller "alpleco" out of Long Island has sold over 600+ of these instructions at almost $2 each.
There's just no shame!
Just got my Xoom from this deal!!!!
1 day shipping delivered before noon as promised. =)
Hope you all get yours soon too!
Also, I forgot to place the order for the free case. What are the odds I can call CS and have it shipped since I purchased during the promo? Anyone else have luck? And what wording did you use if your were successful. Thanks!
And to the guy who posted the thread about this deal - Thanks, you really did help this community flourish. =)

No offense, but you couldn't have posted this in one of the 25% threads such as this? As to your case question, it has been asked in that thread the I just posted. One person was able to, some others were not able to get the case, you can call and try, but you already got an awesome deal.
40 pages + of thread and information is hard to salvage, but appreciate the proper post etiquette.
Just wanted to let everyone know they are shipping and getting received. If mods feel this thread is useless then feel free to delete =)
Thanks for the know about the case. I wasn't going to push it but thought I'd ask.
FedEx or UPS??? I'm still waiting.. 2 Day delivery ordered on the 24th..

Why don't you use some of the $200 you saved to buy a $30 case? The people who got in on this deal seem so ungrateful.

I talked to one yesterday, they'll do it. If they say no ask for a supervisor, but you shouldn't have a problem.
I have an acer Iconia a500 tablet. Currently bricked, but can be unbricked. I'm just sick of it, I don't feel like taking the time to unbrick it. PM me.
Hey, my Mom might be interested. But first. please post the offer to sell here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=476. I'm sure that you will be able to get an offer that will suit you there as well as more exposure to your post from folks that are in the market to buy.

Just remember, you buy-sell-trade at your own risk. XDA is not responsible for deals gone sour, and the Moderator Staff will not get involved.
Wanted to point that out. Mostly it seems the deals go ok. However, there are a couple of scam artists lurking around. Seems most folks know who they are.

Hehe, yeah. My sneaky plan involves a redirect to Ebay and/or a protected purchase using my CC if things get going over at the buy and sell forum. But thanks for the great advice!
So I'll ask the obvious question, why wouldn't you unbrick it before selling it?

I think he spelled it out quite clearly in the OP: "I'm just sick of it, I don't feel like taking the time to unbrick it"
Now obviously, he could likely get a higher price if it were unbricked, but to each his own I suppose...

Yeah, unless Motorola gave them to the site then I would say everyone should avoid the linked site at all costs.
Someone delete this thread.
these were not hoarded at all. i got them from various friends and peeps on twitter and now giving them back to the community. If any other android news website does a giveaway it's cool but if a new website does it it's called hoarding. seriously guys .
@munchy_cool they don't deserve anything from you, ungrateful and rude bunch. They obviously haven't read any of your articles and reviews.

If you ungrateful peons knew who Munchy really was, you'd not be so cynical.
Thanks Munchy. I'd like to apologize for these fools, since ignorance seems to be more prevalent with each new XDA "member".
Wow, so this is what it's come to? XDA has really changed from the time I joined. I know Munchy from outside of XDA, and I would stake my account on the simple truth that he was actually going to give the codes away.
Nice job guys, really. Mods need to delete this thread, because he's made it pretty clear outside of XDA that he's not giving the codes away now.

Great site. I got bored, so I just went there. I thought this thread was going to get ugly, that's why I said "someone delete this thread". And to those who said that he did this for ad revenue, I looked at his site, and there are all of 3 (non obtrusive) ads.
I bet they wouldn't complain if it was engadget or something that did the giveaway.

the first load takes some time but it should be faster the next time.I will read on how to make it faster, already have wpcache but maybe need to tweak the settings.
I do this for a hobby, not for making money so if and when I make money from ads that will go back to the community in forms of gadget giveaways and not into my own pocket as I earn enough to make a good living.
BTW thanks for the support.

Another thing is that it's probably hosted in India right? (just assuming because of the co.in)
That probably adds some time (im in the us)

Dang bro. XDA had turned into a bunch of stuck up kids with nothing better to do than troll. You're a good guy munchy and you know where to go to give those codes to people that want them.
No wonder all the developers leave here after a while.
