I need to bring this issue (not seeing copyprotected apps in the market) up again. GOOGLE please give us an update when to expect this issue fixed!!!
You are keeping loyal and honest customers from their leglay bought applications away and hinder us to spend more money on the market!!! This hurts your developers! Its been more than a month than this issue came up with the launch of the Milestone in europe. In the UK the problem was fixed within days but the unlocked phones are still waiting. What is the problem???
