Rooted Devices Blocked From Android Movie Market

Posted by samzenpus on from the no-movie-for-you dept.

tekgoblin writes "Google has released the Android Movie Market to Android tablets with Honeycomb 3.1 and in a few weeks for users with Froyo and Gingerbread. However Google has stipulated that the Android Movie Market will only be available to Android devices which are not rooted. So if you have a rooted Android device, don't expect to download anything from the Android Movie Market any time soon (or at least until a workaround is found)."

  1. A week to realize that!?!?!?!? by syousef · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    It'll take a week for people to realize they could just torrent the movie instead of paying money for a 24 hour version?

    Geez, a whole week to realize that? Is it restricted for sale to those with a low IQ?? Or just slashdot users? :P~~~
