protected apps hidden in market

[fangorious]

I know it's probably a Hurry Up and Wait issue for Google to just update the device/OS list on the market. But it's really stupid that their own branded phone would be for sale for 2 weeks without them updating their market to fully recognize it. I can't see any protected apps in the market on my Nexus S, and that's only supposed to happen on rooted phones. Please star [Only registered users can view links. ] issue to help speed up the process (but please also honor the policy of not leaving a "me too" comment that doesn't add new information )

I've noticed a few of my paid apps are missing from the market.... Although I have been able to download some of them, does this mean that they aren't "protected"?

Will do... however, I'm sure by now Google should be aware of this vexatious problem. (btw) Welcome to the forum fangorious.

Nothing new for a new phone. Still weird that Google lets it happen.

Looks like they are available now

I'm seeing protected apps show up in the market now. There are four comments confirming the same on the Google Code defect.

FYI being protected and non-free are not synonymous. The Fandango app is free but protected. The iSyncr app is non-free but not protected.

Looks like we are going through the same with the 2.3.2 update. You would think they would add it as they start rolling out the updates?

Ah well, I have already installed the protected Apps I use the most, as long as they don't start disappearing from my phone in the meantime

2.3.2 now has protected apps available again.... until 2.3.3
