Google Blocked Cupcakes from Android Market

It looks like some HTC G1 users just couldn’t wait to get their hands on the ported version of Cupcake, aka Android 1.5.  Well, because of this, Google has locked out anyone running this version of Android from the Android Market!  If you jumped ahead of the line and installed a hacked Cupcake app, you no longer can download or purchase apps from the market.  One theory is that Android 1.5 shows up on Google’s radar as coming from an HTC Magic handset, and when they started seeing Magic users in places Magic users should not be, they cut them off from the market.  It turns out there are actually two versions of the haykuro Cupcake (as the hacked app is called).  One, the H version, can still access the Android Market.
