Difference in Play Store - Kindly explain [Pics inside] - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi!
I'll get straight to the point.
First Picture:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Second Picture:
My Question is, WHY both markets are different? I live in Pakistan and I was wondering why we dont get the same one as shown in First Picture?
Is there any way I could get the one shown in First Picture?
Someone gave me an idea that MarketUnlocker is there for this reason. But i have tried playing with it and i was unable to get my desired results.
Anyone have any idea about it?

The one in the first picture is for the states (or places that have Google Music, Video Books). Currently not available in all countries and while you may figure out how to get it it will still be useless as I am sure you will still need a US credit to purchase anything from Google Books for example. Or a US address to have the Galaxy Nexus delivered etc

Hey! Thanks for the prompt response
I thought they would've SOMETHING which is free. Would it hurt if i download some "Free" music or books from Google Play Store? You know what i mean ...
So everything is paid there? And are you saying its impossible for me to get it on my device?

Yes of course it's paid else you could order a free GNex
And also yes it is possible to get it by using a US proxy but I don't see the point in doing so

That actually cleared a lot of things for me.

With the same Market Unlocker Pro version I guess?
Well i will try to do that, just to settle my curiosity. Otherwise, i get your point that there is no benefit for doing that.
Lastly, Thank you very much for the prompt response. Appreciate it

New message from ATT with free software

Did anyone else get a bizarre message today?
AT&T Free Msg: Click below to download a free mobile app! Std data rates apply. Send stop to 2402 to end mktg msg
http://b.wappush.net/wapclick//ma/1164557/218325296
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Anyone know what this is... strangely enough, I am very reluctant to download software recommended by random text messages.....
i received that same text message...didnt bother downloading because it was from an unknown sender
Also think about this. IF AT&T was offering free software wouldn't they put it on wireless.att.com?
The link redirects (or tries to before timing out) to http://wap2.cingularextras.com.
Trying to go to http://www.cingularextras.com takes you to http://mediamall.wireless.att.com which is pretty much where you'll end up trying to 'Shop' from http://wireless.att.com/home.
You can go into your Account and uncheck all the marketing options. I used to get text messages for promotions and what not and I removed all of them and now I don't get anything.

They certainly wouldn't distribute over a text message from a domain called wappush.net. I'd be more than reluctant to download it. It screams of a virus.

Yeah, that's what it screamed to me too....
Thought I would throw it out here before I deleted it, though....
Very Suspicious!

Sure tell everyone the Code. Now scammers know to put att in the first three words. And At&t Really should be smart enough not to use such an unidentifiable website. The should use wappush.att.net or something. I'm still very suspicious of this.

Anyone else notice the lack of accuracy at times with this app?
I do love it though, the UI is freakin sweet.

From the look of the webpage, it looks like this is commercial software. Can you clarify where you acquired these apks and what their licensing terms are?

You might want to remove the download then. Unless you are authorized by the developer to distribute or the app is publicly downloadable from the webpage, it's probably considered 'warez'.
Don't know if this is the beta or not then but two things I didn't like about it were that with prediction it would cover some of the text field where I was typing and look bad and the other thing was there was no way to retract it from the screen

R.I.P. FileSonic & Uploaded.to ?

http://www.prefixmag.com/news/filesonic-disables-file-sharing/60803/
So you have no doubt heard about the insanity surrounding the shutting down of MegaUpload, particularly the wild story about how the file-sharing website's founder was arrested in high fashion. Well, this has all clearly spooked other file-sharing services, including FileSonic. If you go to its homepage, you're greeted by a message that reads: "All sharing functionality on FileSonic is now disabled. Our service can only be used to upload and retrieve files that you have uploaded personally." Not only that, but Uploaded.to is no longer available for use in the U.S.
Wow. Do you think anyone else will fold in light of the ongoing witch hunt? And could a major player like Mediafire go under?
Update: The FileSonic Facebook page has now disappeared. Props
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Update: Uploaded.to has blocked all U.S. visitors as a response to the MegaUpload takedown
Uploaded.to has no service in the USA
if you use a proxie you can access

pretty sad when people use for legit reasons

Lot's of other users all over the world are affected

not exactly Lamar, the author of SOPA could come back with an even worse bill
http://live.drjays.com/index.php/2012/01/20/sopa-is-defeated-but-new-internet-bill-gains-critics/
fear is already programed into most Americans
So lets make the bill into something more appealing.
What would people fear the most, something happening to their children
And how dare anyone go against something to helps children
total manipulation
i hope everyone with a filesonic account asks for a refund.

It's not searchable in the marketplace. You need to download it using the link directly on the phone.
I strongly recommend using the QR code from the official blog post.
finally long wait Skype...

Good find man, thanks!

Are Skype calls on the Beta version free? Seems I can make outbound calls through the dial pad ! Am I going to receive a bill later on ?
not every region can download that.

No, not for the moment and there are a lot of complains on their forums about it too.
Me for one, I don't like it that it wont stay live either, not even with Push notifications, but its also said in an interview that they're working on a solution
IM: It is not possible to receive IM's when Skype is not in foreground
Workaround: None available

Check here for the info about any of this!
Skype Community
Buglog (including the background thing) and more
(put it big so that it may help others with questions too, seeing as XDA is not the place for reactions (well you get my drift )
