I'm sorry, I was unaware that Google was disallowing certain applications onto Android, either because they didn't provide a difference between stock Google apps or because they could violate agreements Google has with carriers.

I was also unaware of the thriving application market for jailbroken Android devices, seeing as how Google makes it next to impossible to install applications from sources other than their own application store.

Perhaps you can fill the rest of us in on both of these topics.
