I had taken HTC Magic ( the one with 288 MB ram) and found no google app bundled with it. Infact it does not have Market app installed.
So in short there is no way to install applications from android market place

I bought the HTC magic a couple of weeks ago. This is not a google phone and has none of the google goodies we would expect on this phone. This means no integrated google apps, no google maps and no android market. The only things available are the so called airtel 'applications' that have been listed by the original poster.
No way but to try flashing a different ROM - if someone succeeds with that, please let me know.

Airtel/HTC had given us a crap

Look into this post : http://www.google.com/support/forum/...ff1b21f6&hl=en

To summarize: Handset given in India is protected so it can not be rooted. And if you wish to have google experience on your handset, you need to flash it, for which you have to root it.

Hence we are trapped

If you want access to the same apps that are in the market you can go Here that "should " work. But i'm not 100% as my phone has market access.

cyrket.com is just another interface for market. So if handset dont have access to market, then it wont be able to access market apps via cyrket .

So bad ...

This phone is a complete let down if you want it for development and you need to use google apis
