Help Cab't download apps from Andorid Market..Google responds.

[ztmike]

So..I just got my Nexus One today and got service going (still waiting on the ability for me to use mobile web) But I'm connected to my WIFI right now and when I try to install any apps it freezes in the "Downloads" section saying "Starting Download..."

I googled searched this and found this
Download issues: stalled at "Starting download" - Android Market Help

From the OP (which is a Google employee) says this

Hey everyone - we're seeing reports of apps getting stalled at 'Starting download'. We're looking into this issue. To help us troubleshoot, please reply with a +1 if this describes an issue you're seeing and if possible, include the following information:

- What app you're experiencing this issue with
- How long it's lasting (a couple minutes? an hour? a day?)
- If activating Google Talk resolves the issue
- What country you're in


Best,Alden

I'm guessing its network wide and not just with the Nexus One..

Anyone else? ...I'm in the U.S.A


Edit: It seems like its a bug..I skimmed through that thread and if you press and load "Google Talk" and exit back out and go to the market..it lets you download apps..weird.
