[android-developers] Re: Update UK G1 not showing paid apps
I can confirm this is the same on my UK G1. The market is no longer Beta, but no paid app's yet. My guess is the update means UK G1's can now support paid app's, but we're still waiting on Google to flick the switch and make them available. Hopefully, not too much longer to wait.

Same here!

[android-developers] Re: Update UK G1 not showing paid apps
My theory is that RC9 means that all Google now needs to do is flick a switch and the UK will see paid apps without needing e.g. RC10. But I don't think Google are ready to flick the switch. They still want to sort out any teething issues they had from opening the paid market in the US. My paid app available US only has had several Google issues, including users not being able to download updates, users not being able to get refunds within 24 hours, users not being able to transfer apps to new phone, etc. Google will want to sort out these issues before they open up the market too widely so I can understand why they are not giving any definite dates.

I've said it already and can't stress enough that perfectly working Market application is billions of times more important than meeting *any* deadline.
