Top Free Apps on online market that are not compatible for (UK) HTC Wildfire

Moderater: Not sure if this is exactly a tip or trick please move if you can think of somewhere better for this.

I've just checked out the new online version of the Android Market: https://market.android.com/

It's instantly recognised my Gmail acount and know that I've got a Wildfire on Orange (UK), but unlike the on-phone Market app it doesn't exclude the apps that I can't dowload.

So I thought I'd start off a list of the top apps that we can't get on our modest Wildfires (maybe you can suggest the next best alternative)

Flash Player 10.1
Solitaire
Google Earth
The Weather Channel
Unblock Me FREE
Dictionary.com
Classic Tetris
Tank Hero
Connect 4

That's 9 out of the top 48 free app that I can't have.

Skyfire works, downloaded it off 4shared but it's much slower then Opera mobile. Angry Birds works for me and was slow but if you follow a tip in another thread just not connecting wirelessly stops the ads which speed it up. Also, Farm STory which I love on the iPhone doesn't work due to it's screen resolution.

I got 3 different versions of angry birds on my wildfire. I cant recall where I got them from though.

despite beeing a total newbie i have to say google earth might not work but google maps work perfect and latitude shows exactly where you are ,at least in my case its just a house distance between what it shows and where i am

Thanks for that, I now understand why Google Earth does not appear in Market, by why is it not compatible?
