This really pisses me off too. Not entirely sure whether it's the devs trying to push their app in your face wherever you are, or if it's just a piss-up.

Could you get the apple app store on a Droid??

I was wondering if you could possibly have the app store and market place on a Droid phone. I'm sure it can't but who knows. I'm being hopeful

Negative...why? If you want Apple apps get an Ipod Touch or IPhone.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
App Store as in total control of what is allowed, or as in porting apps?
The first one can be organized, the second one is probably impossible, you need to have the source code for the app..
I have an ipod touch but the Apple app store has far more games and things to entertain me... I'd rather just have everything on my phone instead of switching between the two. It's basically just easier if I could have my ipod games on my phone.

So basically what you are saying is because you're lazy, you want to argue with everyone about the virtues of taking restricted apps made for the iPhone and installing them on your Android phone, which would violate all the rules and copyrights from Apple?
It would probably be easier and take less effort to just buy yourself an iPhone or duct tape a phone to your iPod.
Yes

As I stated above:
It would probably be easier and take less effort to just buy yourself an iPhone or duct tape a phone to your iPod.
To be fair, the OP has a point.
As much as i hate apple (and love android) the Apple app store blows the Android Marketplace out of the water as far as games are concerned.
...but no, it's probably impossible.
I asked this question before I searched for stuff about it. It's impossible unless we could get the android to read and accept the idevice files. I am lazy and I don't like needing to switch between and ipod and a phone I love my phone but I like being able to play games

Well, I would appreciate you for out- of- the box thinking even if it is impossible at first. Few decades before nobody had dreamt that people will be carrying phones in their pockets.
Good luck !

iPhone 5

I have decided that when the REAL iPhone 5 debuts, im going to iOS, its more solid than Android... sure with android there are a variety but I would rather have one phone that can upgrade at the same time others of its kind upgrade instead of trying to hassle to *root* a phone n do all that other crap and risk bricking it just to stay current, well do that or buy another phone, its ridiculous actually.... and I saw a similar post to this one and that guy was right, Google has customization yes but when it comes down to it, it pains me to say but google is crap compared to apple as far as being current and stuff u knw? So whenever the iphone 5 drops I will not deal with android anymore I just can't tolerate this mess anymore

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
I agree that the iOS has its good points. But for full functionality of your own phone you have to jailbreak it. How is that different than rooting your android? I have had an iPhone 3Gs and 4 and neither of them have come close to offering me all that I can have and do with my Infuse. And guess what that's my opinion, it works for me and my needs. Am I putting the iPhones down? Not really, if you want to drive an off the showroom floor mid grade model that comes with a stock package that is as you buy it then go for it. Personally I prefer to know how my device works at its core as well as be able to modify that as I see fit, but again that's me. I will not buy another iOS device until they allow the freedom I have with my android. I own both Mac and Win machines and an Ubuntu and a Slackware machine so I'm not pro or anti apple I get a device that fits my needs. If you need an iPhone go for it but what's the point of spreading negativity in a forum where the iPhone is not the focus.

Too much money in it for the government not to step in. Some money will be paid from android to apple but that's all that will happen if the patents are upheld.
I would laugh if Apple tries to sue Google for the several things they stole from android. Especially noted the drop down notification bar that I recently saw my girlfriends iPhone has the ability to do.
I hope Google tries to fight back on that stuff.

Why do bad things *apple* happen to good people *Google*.
Apple is pretty stupid to sue Google for what they created and improved. Apple is just a monopolizing S.O.B.
Apple is just a rotten fruit that will decay soon, I hope Google does something about this.
This is nothing new. Although Apple has made strides in their field, they try to kill off any decent competition in their market. They'll patent **** that shouldn't be patented and sue based on that. For example, suing Samsung for using slide to unlock. They're pretty pathetic overall. Apple will never decay, which is both a bad and a good thing. They simply have incredible marketing and brand management. That's why they can release something small like video recording on a brand new piece of hardware, and people will upgrade to it without hesitation.

Nice to see someone gets it. Apple is the largest US company by market cap. Not only the largest but as of right now it's 50% larger than second place(Exxon-Mobile). It's not going anywhere for a very long time. While it's tactics may seem dirty to the public this stuff happens all the time in the business world. That's why we have a patent office in this country. You can hate apple all you want but it won't make them go away. Their business model is second to none and they will continue to grow.
Companies are doing underhanded things in order to obtain an advantage over their competition? Tha-tha-that's not fair! My trust in huge, faceless, multinational corporations is forever shaken!

The same thing I said upthread. Sammi just has to pay out some cash. They're already appealing so it will take another year before the final amount gets hashed out. As it stands now Apple asked for 2.5B in damages and was awarded 1.05B. Android ain't going anywhere. Neither is Apple.

I understand people have parents that wont allow them to buy apps. I understand people live in countries where its almost impossible to purchase apps.
I will point and laugh at people that dont change the sig from the default.
I would also bet people think because it says app-developers app they think it has something special.
Also you do know the xda app is a modified version of tapatalk. If you own the premium version of tapatalk there shouldnt be anything in the premium version of xda that is not available in the tapatalk. I agree each person has their own preference.
As for how people come here for help...how is that related to my question?

Kinda funny. I never noticed it till I saw this thread. For me, I just typed xda in the search bar in the market, and picked the first one with the "official" logo. I didn't even know there was a choice. I don't think I'm fooling anyone with an app dev signature
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app
Yeah, it's all because app developers are Linux guys, and you know how they are...
I never noticed the difference myself. I didn't buy the paid version because I'm wasn't then and still am not that impressed with the app, in general. I guess I never really considered it "supporting XDA" to buy the app. Hmm, I guess it is, now that I think of it. Maybe when they make it so that reading all the posts in a forum actually makes it marked "read" on the app...

OMG the marked as read and actually showing new posts without having to toggle between pm's is annoying. That is a tapatalk bug. It use to not be that way, atleast for me but tapatalk 2.0 did some weird things.
As for not noticing it. At first I didnt but then we started to get a influx of noobs and reading those posts I realized it.
I think you're looking into it way too much. I bet 93% of the people don't even care, yes 93%
Xda app developers might have been the original name of the site. :-|
