If the apps store requires the mobile data is there a way to bypass/fool it so I can use WiFi?
Also, Anyway to set it up to use the USB to GET internet? I know there are various ways to get the SD card recognized via USB by booting a certain way, not sure if there is some similar trick or setting or something that allows it to draw an internet connection.
Thanks!

I think I see what you're saying, and it's backwards of how most see their phones - typically people want to use their mobile data cxn to power the internet on a laptop. It sounds like you, on the other hand, want to provide internet to your phone via a laptop over USB. I'm pretty sure there's nothing for that in Android yet.
Market works great for me. With that said, I've always used mobile data to download from the market - I wouldn't have bought this phone if I didn't have a mobile data cxn
I'll test with wifi, but I would assume the Market would work with wifi. There were some older builds where the Market was flaky, do you have the most updated kernel/modules & rootfs?
