Take a minute to mosey on over to the Androidify page at the Android Market website. Peak under at the “More from Developer” heading. Notice anything strange? A link to an Android Market page for the Android Market. Alas, clicking that link brings us to a “Not Found” page. We won’t be downloading the Android Market from the Android Market anytime soon.
So what gives with this strange paradox? Is the ability to install the Android Market on other platforms coming soon? Doubtful, since you’d need the Android Market to download the Android Market. It just doesn’t make sense!
Chances are the Market APK is simply listed among the rest of Google’s apps on their servers and this information has been fed directly into the webstore’s database. A little glitch that should ultimately mean nothing…right?
