Android Market Downtime a Sign that Something’s Brewing at Google?
While everything seems to be in working order for the time being, overnight we received word from a few readers that the Android Market has been experiencing some downtime. This is confirmed by other reports around the web. One reader informed us that the actual Android Market website was down, but by the time we checked it was all back in order. [Update: As several commenters have pointed out, market.android.com now simply redirects back to android.com.]
Looks like something is going on behind the scenes at Google…will we finally get some major Android Market announcements at today’s Honeycomb event as rumored? Or was the downtime part of regular maintenance and completely unrelated? The proximity between the event and the Market downtime seems a bit more than coincidental, don’t you think?
