[Q] Any way to get the Android Tablet Market outside the US?

[appelflap]

From what I've read the Xoom should display Tablet specific apps in the market. It doesn't on my (imported) Xoom. I just get the regular market. No tablet specific apps.

I guess this has something to do with the fact that I'm using the Xoom outside the US. Somehow there's a restriction to using the Xoom elsewhere. For example it also isn't possible to install Google books.

Anyone found a work around for this? Setting the country parameters in the settings or Gmail accounts doesn't work. Maybe the Market Enabler app can do the job?

I bought a wifi only xoom from US and I also don't have the Featured tablet aps in Market, but if I search apps then it finds tablet apps just fine.

aha... but does it contain all tablet apps? For example I noticed that the YouTube player for Honeycomb wasn't installed on my Xoom. I read somewhere that I could download it from the market, but my market only contains the non tablet version (2.x vs 3.x for honeycomb)... So I wondered if I got a non working tablet market.

Youtube app wasn't on my Xoom also at first, but when I connected to internet it magically appeared under apps.
As far as I know, the honeycomb version has never been in android market.

I am traveling in China now and the hotel has a Hong Kong IP address, so unfortunately I can't read most of the things in the market. When I go into the office we have a Singapore IP address, so at least I can read it! I tried market enabler, but I don't think it will work on the wifi only model...
