Comment on Leaf’s Open Market – My Wishlist by admin

I’ve sent off some enquiries to Google South Africa to see if they have any information. I 100% agree on your analogy – it’s exactly like the iPhone without the App Store. With Apple you get the good and the bad sides – Good – only one store is allowed, so that means it must be available everyon. Bad – Apple can be as picky/anti-competitive as they like about what apps they allow to be sold. Android is the opposite – any store is ok which it means that there’s no single store that has all the apps, BUT at least anyone can write any app for it, so you can get Podcast downloaders, or alternative music players, or any number of other applications that Apple would usually reject.

Hey Paul

I have a few comments. I originally bought an HTC Dream from MTN but ended up returning as i had a requirement to sync to exchnage. the sales folk told me that that this is done by downloading or buying an application from the market. unfortunatley they don’t tell you that the android market is not availale in SA and the Leaf equivalent (OpenMarket) was barely operational.

fortunately i got a refund and usede the money to by a HTC Magic which has some limited activesync ability.

While i have seen some progress on the open market in the last week, it is still a far cry from where the Androind market is and the ability to buy and download these applications is key in the purchase decision.

imgine buying an iphone with no access to Itunes store, its a little more than an ipod.

Hopefully we get up to speed on the applications and in particular the one i want is google SkyMap (one of my reasons for buying android).

anyway, lets see it improve

Got my Magic today, similar experience to you. I am disappointed that Android Market is not there but i think the Leaf guys have done a decent enough job. Interestingly, I see loads of stuff to personalize your phone with, ringtones, wallpapers etc…. Google and iPhone guys don’t have that…. Nice one Leaf

Please let me know hen you get it right I’ve been through the same process. I even emailed the sales guys at Vodacom with the press release off their own website. They ignored me.
