    I for one will not be downloading any apps until this issue is resolved.  How come MS did not think of this?  And you can't download CAB files to your PC for transfer?  What gives MS?  I can't be the only only one that wonders why this is?

    If *that* is the reason, it would be REALLY stupid because you can get ANY of the programs from the developer's site and other sites as well.   This NEEDS to change for Marketplace to be useful at all.  I mean the internal storage on most devices is very limited.

    Despite having heard that before I don't think it is for DRM. Their copy protection solution was just made available to developers yesterday.

    It takes all the running you can do to stay in one place.If you want to get somewhere else,you must try to run at least twice as fast as that.

    This is really stupid. I totally do not get MS's strategy here, please stop shooting yourself in the foot. The only reason I am not downloading apps from the marketplace is this. I refuse to download any more apps until this issue is fixed. How much on-board memory do windows phone really have? What were they thinking when they restricted the installation to main memory? Sometimes it looks like Microsoft works for Apple by making these really dumb decisions. Give us the option to decide where to install the app.
