Yeah, known problem.

Google block protected apps from being displayed on dev phones. In fact it looks like its a whitelist and not a blacklist. So since the update some ID presented by the phone has changed, and so the Samsung isnt identified as a non dev device anymore.

The Hero had this problem too when it was first released on Orange but they fixed it. Google are taking their time to fix it - its a server side problem not a phone firmware/software problem.

The only way to get around it is to get the apk yourself and install the program from a computer using sdb. Its really anoying they still havnt fixed this.
