Can all the bitchers and moaners please take back their bithing and moaning (that includes you Jimbo).
This was nothing more than a minor delay to maintain the security and safety of Android users.
Bravo Goole, Bravo.

Yeah, because the Android Market contains only the safest and more rigorously tested of Apps.
Give me a fucking break, Chocolate.

Never-the-less, the Android Market HAS the kongregate app, and the bitching and moaning was, as is now apparent, misplaced.
I'm glad that Google won't allow apps to download other apps as that could create some serious security holes. I'm also glad that the Kongregate app could be amended to work around the rule.
I'm not saying they're godlike or anything, just that they did the right thing in this situation.

not for me either.....I just checked.....
I've got Sprint...and a Samsung Epic 4G.....not sure if any of that has anything to do with it...I looked on the Android Market, did a search for "Kongregate".....and got nothing.....

You could always get the app from the Kongregate website, so it's kind of a non-issue, consumer wise.
@Those who can't see it
It requires android 2.2 on the device, because it's just running the flash content as flash content, rather than anything specifically written for android. So odds are, you're not running 2.2 (which I think the epic gets soonish), so it doesn't show up for you, since it wouldn't work if you did.

No it wasn't. Google just yanked the App without warning or explanation. Kongregate itself didn't know what was up, and still maintained that the rule was silly. Kongregate Arcade, in its original form, didn't violate the cited rule.
So no, it's not a case of "good job, Google, defender of our children." It's a case of Kongregate having to do something unnecessary to satisfy a rule that didn't even apply to them.

I don't think Google really deserves to be congratulated, but I'd still rather have this than the BS shenanigans Apple pulls with the App Store.
thnx draxx...
Guess I'll just have to wait until we get the 2.2....oh well....ipod touch has got way better games anyways.

@Jim, Rules is rules. No matter how cool an app is, it has to abide by the rules.
- do you have 2.2 yet Jim? That is the one real downside about the Android platform, how different phones support different Firmwares and how Carriers get to bastardize firmwares before release.
Apart from that (easy to say as i have had 2.2 for a while) it's pretty sweet.
*It's on the store for me, in fact, it's on my phone now*

This seals it, I'll be getting an Android phone when I get myself a smart phone, as long as this stays up.
I sure dont know what he hubub wa about.. I didnt see anything on there (that plays on the phone) that was worth a crap.. did I miss the gems? A sfor the story, Jim needed to message his e-penis a bit.. whats new...
All well that ends well. I'm happy to see that the app has returned with little hassle required on the developer's end, and that everyone can get to experience why Kongregate is such a wonderful community.
delight of indulging his mood, and being pliant to his will. He still cheap rumalaya
