    Hi guys...

    Yesterday Aptoide and forks (ApkTor, F-Droid,...) were banned from the market without further explanation.
    Aptoide is in the market for more than one year.
    It seems the growing momentum of Bazaar (http://bazaar.aptoide.org) triggered Google's decision.

    There is an interesting thread going on on the Android forum:

    http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?tid=1287303ed883043f&hl=en

    Some people defend that is being used to warez.
    Some state that an open definition of apks repository and a GPLv2 client is important when a growing number of non-compatible proprietary app stores (Samsung, Acer,...) are showing up.

    Have a nice 2011.

    Maybe to get our opinion about it, or just to start a discussion about it?
