Google removes applications just before launch

[refused9150]

I actually wrote it. Its just a publishing issue with the comments. A ton of apps were taken off. I even confirmed that it was happening to others as well.

Well I just got my phone. I love touching it. But there are so many problems.

I mean not having a video player was such a dealbreaker for me, and then I heard about the open source app, and thought maybe they left that functionality out to show the App Store works.

And then they took it away. And ShopSavvy was by far the most talked about App in the news and the most common app demos by T-Mobile and Google themselves.

And it's also gone.

I LOVE the phone, but it really seems they don't have this together very well.

Maybe they should have waited till next quarter to put it out.

But I guess to get those holiday dollars you'll do whatever you have to.

Ugh.

But did I mention....AWESOME phone.

Again guys, they had scheduled maintenance on the Market for today, trying to sort things out before the official launch, which is still 2 days away. *IF* it's still like this on Wednesday, then I'd say throw a hissy fit, but not before, hehe.

Well, I do not like this one bit!!
I'm sure they have their reasons.. we will see if they are back up in a couple of days...

[betawind]

Cool. Where are you seeing that being reported?

Edit: *points at Refused* It was hiiiiiiiiim!

[ren857]

Awww maaaannnn! Like pestilence said, I will wait until the official launch to get upset.

But I want to complain and b*tch and get angry because something that isn't supposed to be ready for 2 days isn't ready yet!

[PeteyPablo]

what the heck are you guys all crying about? this was the perfect time for the launch and there is no way that google just clicked the delete button on all those apps to piss us off. shopsavvy will obviously be back in time for the launch date, which is still 2 DAYS AWAY! they just want to check everything and make sure that its as good as it can possibly be for wednesday. so for those of us fortunate enough to already have one, just be thankful instead of negative. im sure it will be back up to over 50 apps by the end of the week. freaking cry babies.

[Technickal]

Thanks chris, It's good to know this is why they removed all the apps.

Actually, noone knows yet why they removed the apps
I knew google was going to screw us one way or another, free apps sounded to good to be true, they will have all the meaningless apps out for free but when quality apps start to release like AIM client app, facebook or video players they will charge us

I mean im not into the waiting game, Ill rather have all the apps out now with a fee, they are doing nothing but playing games with the public

sad

they just want to check everything and make sure that its as good as it can possibly be for wednesday.

how do you know this? where is your source> you work for google? your about as clueless as everyone else, noone knows the exact reason so please dont make assumptions

lol, the device hasn't been officially launched yet....and your complaining that it isn't the jesus phone you convinced yourself it was going to be?

the OS just came out (technically it hasn't yet), give it some time ffs...
