The story of the missing apps

Looks like we found a reason for the missing apps:

Rather than a sinister plot, it turns out that Google has updated the Market with new software. Any application that didn’t meet the requirements of the new Android Market software won’t be available until they are updated. This will happen over time. So relax, G1 users, you’ll have plenty of applications to sort through when the device becomes officially available later this week.

Pretty ridiculous.  At the least, there should have been some reasoning on one of the android-related web sites.

Update: Looks like the apps are starting to reappear.  This is clearly a pretty big miscommunication between Google (who manages the market) and Tmobile (who shipped the phones to customers two days early).

    “Untapped energy from nontraditional sources exists all around us,” said Linear Technology Vice President and Power Products General Manager Don Paulus, “including heat, vibration or light generated from natural sources or as a by-product from industrial processes. Transducers to harvest this ambient or waste energy are available, but the missing link in the energy harvesting chain has been an efficient and manufacturable means to convert the low level transducer output into usable power. Our new LTC3108 DC/DC power manager solves this problem for thermal energy-based systems.”

    Energy harvesting affords the opportunity to charge, supplement or even eliminate batteries in systems where they are inconvenient, impractical, expensive or dangerous. And it can obviate the need for wires and routine maintenance.

    Markus Brehler, CEO of wireless sensor market leader EnOcean, stated, “With this entry into the energy harvesting market, Linear Technology provides a key enabler for a new generation of wireless sensor products based on ambient thermal energy. We look forward to continued collaboration with Linear to provide increasingly efficient and innovative energy harvesting products for wireless building automation systems.”

    Don Paulus continued, “Energy harvesting has been a promising emerging market, but the technology just wasn’t in place for it to break out commercially. This product release, as well as the announcement of EnOcean Alliance’s open specification for energy harvesting wireless sensors, represent major steps toward establishing commercial momentum.”

    Energy from ambient temperature gradients can be harvested from such disparate sources as heating ducts and radiators, engines and motors, friction sources and the human body. Application areas include building automation, avionics, automated metering, remote sensor installations, predictive maintenance and wearable electronics.

    Well here's the story, I bought the g1 when it first came out, used it for a few months, and then went back to my sidekick. However, as of yesterday, I changed back to a g1 plan and am back on the g1. But one of the first things I noticed is that the android market doesn't have all the apps in it that it should, including some of the apps that I had the first time I used the g1, such as meebo.

    Now, I haven't gotten the cupcake update yet, since I jusr went back to the g1 yesterday, so could that be a reason why all the apps aren't there? I heard that no paid apps will show up (which they don't) unless you have cupcake, but even some free apps are missing, so idk if that's the problem

    Can someone please help me?

    On a side note, any idea when I'll be getting cupcake?
