Alternative for Android Market

[jrgro70]

This is one alternative to the Android Market

Recently launched

It is based on broad BlackBerry app store for Android, Symbian, and Java apps

It detects your system and show the right apps

mobilestore.opera.com

Check it Out¡

NICE! Does it have the same apps as the android market?

[jrgro70]

Well I dont now exactly

But Engadget say:

"Opera Mobile Store launches, has lots of apps for lots of phones"

No good--the site requires you to specify device, and Notion Ink is not listed as a manufacturer. Could probably get by specifying another similar device. I tried the Xoom, though, and it's not listed either...

I dont have my Adam yet,

but in my i1 (Android 1.5) works well but i noticied that apps like Skype, Live Wallpapers, etc

So i think is far away of Android Market

You could try with the Gtab or something else

I selected "viewsonic G-tablet" as the device. I was able to download several programs so far:

Photoshop express--Installed and ran fine
Google sky maps-- Intalled and ran (not sure if it is correctly synching w/ GPS, since it's raining here)
Nasa Images collection-- Installed fine, but all of the images seem to have been deleted from the Web
AstroClock Lite -- Installed, but needed 3G to work (mine is WF)
aiCurrency -- Installed, but activation failed
aCurrency -- Installed and ran fine, but data out of date
FX currency -- Installed and ran fine (portrait mode only)
Currency converter 2.2 -- Installed and ran fine, but missing some currencies
UTC clock - Installed, but as a widget, ran inside browser only
Continuous Shoot 1.1 -- Installed and ran, but images were only 320x240

YellowPages 3.0 -- would not install
The Weather Channel -- would not install
Bank of America Mobile -- would not install

will try a few more later.

PS. When I try to post here from my adam (NI browser), it lets me log in, but then I am logged out when I move to the next page (remember me is checked). Anyone know why? (I am able to post on other forums)

Happens all the time to me some times it even happens to me on my Motorola Droid. Just clear the browser cache.

I downloaded an app from here, but I can't get Sniffer to open any storage areas to see where it is. Any ideas?

Okay...I keep forgetting that I need to think of this as a "phone" right now and not a computer. It was in my downloads area. Just installed Angry Birds from this site and works great per your advice of using the ViewSonic G-tablet. Thanks.

You're welcome, I think it most be time to see other great apps in the Opera Market

P.S. The new Opera Browser have the Opera Market, its more easy to access than the tradicional way (link).
