    There are a bunch of bar files available @ playbookbars.com
    If u want android market u need to jailbreak ur PB But even if u do manage to get the market to load not all android apps work.

    Tested it with the new OS2 and it works, sort of. Says I have to create an account on the device to continue. When I select "Yes" to create one, the marketplace closes and goes back to the app player home screen. Anybody else test the vender.bar with any success?

    Doesn't much matter. The app can only download APK files. And the PB can't install Apks unrooted. So it will just error.

    If youndo root it - you could just use the market APK.

    The Android Market is connected to a google (gmail) account... Looks like the function to set this up is located in another apk (one of the other apk files in the cyanogen market).

    Thanks, but now what do I do with the files and directories in the zip? Is there a particular android folder I need to plop them in?
