Hi Runark, thanks for providing the link. File downloaded and will install later.Unfortunately none of these fixes seem to solve the problem.
I've created a download mirror on on of my server's for you to download from: http://www.wizznett.com/fileserver/ANDROID-PPC_SHIFTPDA Gingerbread RAM Edition V2 (31.12.10).rar
I hope ppcboy doesn't mind...
FYI, based on the suggested fix for Market Download, I cleared both the DATA and Cache under Market.
Happy New Year !!!
