Yep. Shazam is as perfect example. I got the free version that was unlimited tags (ad supported) way back in July of last year, and it keeps wanting me to update to a newer version that gives you like 5 tags a month. The paid version is $5.

Also in my case, a few paid apps I got free on Amazon Appstore show up in market, and if you try to update them, Market prompts you to buy it.


Actually mine says unlimited tagging because I installed it back when it was free, and I believe it keeps a record of this and lets you update. I eventually had to because of installing roms/etc, and so I update it all the time and see 'unlimited tagging' at the top.

That isn't the Market really. That is the developer not adding NC to it's manifest file as a supported device. The market is simply following the "rules" that the dev specified for their app.

Well they probably don't add it because the NC being a "hacker's tablet".

You got lucky then, I updated mine (had it since before June last year) and it took away my unlimited tagging. Luckily, I was able to extract the original APK from the Nandroid image of my old MT3G and reinstall the older version.
