Cant download cabs off rapidshare?

---

File type not supported!? Eh? So, if android doesn;t use the file, it won't download it!? I'm gonna try again, but if this is the case, it's blatant bull**** and almost censorship area of wankness!

or does the browser freak out with RS? anyone else confirm this?


thanks, oh. and before some asks, my ISP is down, so i needed to dl a cab for my athena from my g1, as my athena is simlocked atm.

Its not file share. If android doesnt know the file type it wont download. Ive tried downloading jar files. Same thing, even with java installed.

Its the same in android file manager, if you put a file on your sd card and theres no application to open it it just says file reading not supported

what a pile of w@nk!

Nothing to do with sensorship. The android operating system is very new. Suppost for other types of files will come later, along with more features.

Look at bluetooth. You only have bluetooth headset support. Its not locked, other forms of bluetooth communication will be made availible as updates come out.

The browser wont download not because google is saying no, but becuase theres nothing that can use that file type. Whats the point of downloading if you cant open it.

Actually agree. This OS is still very new and only been in existance for a little over a year and development is still in the infancy stage. Give it a little awhile when the ball gets really rolling, then maybe we can soon start to enjoy Android a whole lot more.

CABinet files are for Microsoft.... so why the heck would you want to download anyway?

You can't install Windows Mobile apps on the Android...

... idiots.

Not sure how it is censorship or blatant BS. Think about it when you download something on your actual computer and the file type is not supported it asks you how to open it. On firefox it asks you what you wanna do. This makes perfect sense. Especially seeing as they are still working on the OS.
