Google Blunders Some of the 10 Billion App Promos Downloads; Makes Up For It

[dgstorm]

Apparently, Google's 10 Billion App 10-Cent promo has been such an outrageous success that the Market's servers were faltering under the weight of an onslaught of downloads. Several users experienced error messages and cancelled orders while trying to download some of the great deals. Luckily, Google loves us and is doing everything they can to rectify the issue. If you are one of the folks that had a cancelled order you should be expecting to get an email like this one,

Hello,

We'd like to inform you that as a one-time courtesy, we're giving you free access to all the apps you attempted to purchase. To download these apps, please follow these steps:

Sure Google, I know beggars can't be choosers and I'm really sorry, but I would have been cool to have seen 10 different apps per day for 10 cents, not 9 apps one day and repeat apps other days. It seems like the first 2 days were the best for me. I think I bought almost all the apps those two days, but jump to today and they're repeat/kiddy/craptastic. We have more days left and I'm hoping for some real good quality apps to pop up.

not 9 apps one day and repeat apps other days.

There were 10 apps on all days, but the certain ones were not widely compatible, it seems. So they would not show up on your device.

Its easier to do it from the pc so you can get all of them. you can just download it to a specific device from their.
