Alternative to android market?

[nesita]

Hi,

I live in Portugal and no paid apps are available on android market. Do you know of any alternative to android market, available on internet, to buy paid apps? It is really frustrating, I want to buy an app, I'm willing to pay for it, and I can't find it anywhere.

And when will paid apps be open to every country? This is a major handicap for android OS, from my point of view...

Thanks,

Nesita

I guess there is no such thing yet. But you can have a look at all Android apps, read comments, screenshots etc and download free ones using market mirrors:

www.androidzoom.com

You can check the apps website and they may allow you to purchase it from them directly...

You can take a look at SlideMe. Actually there are few alternatives to android market. But in the view of developer, it's hard to manage different acct in several platforms.

What I hope is google will improve its market. Its 30% service charge is definitely not worth for it compared with Apple app store

I have same problem living in Cyprus. Install My Market [a free app from Market]. You can then connect to the Market as if you are with another tel com elsewhere in the world. Huge selection available. I pretend to be with T-mobile in the USA. This is just an app. No rooting.

download AppBrain on the market, I think it features some good paid apps but it will direct you on the market to download it.
If you want paid apps for your games go to Gameloft website thru your phone theres a lot of good HD games there that will burn your money.

Why don't you use market enabler ?
