And in Sweden. Been sitting for several days now wondering why many apps are not in the market, which many rank a must to install on android. While other apps like Prisjakt require Barcode Scanner from Market but it is nowhere to be found (downloaded it from the net and installed with HTC Synk.

Same problem here in Portugal with the legend. layar support says it is a problem with the camera of the legend and that they are working on the issue.

@n0mad: We belgian people have only access to free apps. E.g. I could install the free Twidroid succesfully.

I’m in Belgium where the Legend was also released 1 week ago and I can confirme the same issue…

ALso had to install barcode scanner using apk file.

Pretty mush all cool apps are not available on the market for some evil reason.

Very frustrating

I have a Nexus one in Holland (imported from US unlocked) and I have two of the above mentioned apps downloaded from the Market and using extensively.

I am wondering how come this is blocked in the Legend but not on Nexus if this is a bug!!!

I seem to have exactly the same problem here in Belgium. Hope we don’t have to wait as much as Canada had to wait for their paid apps.

I managed to install a missing barcode scanner using the .apk package. But this method doesn’t work for Layar.

@robert:

“the problem is nobodies blocking anything.”

Check this: http://phandroid.com/2010/03/16/canada-gets-paid-apps-in-android-market/

These problems are invariably problems with the Android Market configuration and nothing to do with “stuff just happening”

Sjoerd: The Netherlands got it earlier then most other countries.

Anyway, the apps can still be installed from outside the market, right?
