[android-developers] Re: Have you developers even attempted address why this is happening?

Thanks Doug. But unfortunately no, I was simply trying to download
using the android appmarket, I could screenshot you the error, it
says, "package file invalid". I just reformatted my sd again and then
reset phone to factory settings, with no luck, then unmont , remount,
with same effect. Most lower end consumers are completely cut off from
the android market. Thanks again for your response, I'm sure the
carriers are not doing it to you guys.
