Marketplace APPS Missing....Google being sneaky???

[paustin]

I believe that you folks may be a bit mistaken. I just tried to download the LogMeIn application, 'Ignition'. I was unable to locate it. The Market kept telling me that it did not exist.

I sent email to to LogMeIn and had an exchange with Amanda Petrosino <Amanda.Petrosino@logmein.com>

She first thought that the issue was a regional one.
"Currently, paid apps are only available in certain international markets...If you are located outside of these countries, unfortunately you will not be able to use Ignition for Android"

Then after a few more emails, I noted that I was rooted, and she responded with,
"Well, Google has guidelines on what apps will show if the phone is rooted and the app is copy protected (which ours is). Unfortunately, there’s not much we can do to mitigate this. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause."

I believe absolutely that Google is punishing for rooting.
