How to buy Android apps from the Android Market using unsupported device

By Jack Smith | December 13, 2011

You saw that some of the best selling games and apps that you really, really wanted from the Android Market are now on sale for just 10 cents and for a limited time. But, you also found out that the stubborn Android Market won’t let you buy those apps because your current phone or tablet is not supported? I know exactly how you feel!

A lot of people (including me) may still want to buy the apps, specially now that the Android Market is loaded daily with 10 cents deal on top premium apps, for use with a newer or future compatible device that they will soon own.

Android Market AppsIf you’d ask Google support, they will immediately tell you that it is not possible to buy apps for an unsupported device and that there’s nothing they can do about it right now. Maybe, the Android Market is designed this way to hide away the horrors and frustrations of fragmentation (read: hardware incompatibilities) from the users.

Kindle Fire gets a taste of Android 4 (Ice Cream Sandwich)

By Jack Smith | December 7, 2011

Amazon Kindle Fire is getting a lot of attention lately — but, for good reasons.

The Kindle Fire tablet is powered by a heavily customized operating system based on the open-source Android version 2.3 (Gingerbread) that is intimately locked to Amazon Appstore and Amazon services.

With more than 5 million Kindle Fire reportedly sold for the break-even price of $199, this tablet has become an instant favorite among developers, racing against each other, to unlock and turn the Kindle Fire into a full-blown Android Tablet — escaping from the Amazon Kindle experience.

XDA Developers forum member, by the user name of JackpotClavin, was the first to demonstrate CyanogenMod 7 (CM7) running on the Kindle Fire. CyanogenMod 7 is the most popular custom Android firmware that is based on the open-source Android version 2.3 (Gingerbread).

Now we have another XDA Developers forum member, by the name of Steven (forum username g1011999), showing us Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) running on Kindle Fire. However, it is still unstable at the moment. The accelerometer and light sensor aren’t working. It can’t connect to Wi-Fi, either. And lastly, there’s no sound.
