Fix for Android Play Store to access paid apps catelog

Recently I have noticed that on some Android devices where the official Google Play Store app was sideloaded (because the device did not get Google's nod of approval or in the case of the Kindle Fire, for example, Amazon chose not to include it on their device) that the only apps that are accessible are from the Free Apps category.

In searching for a solution I came across a nice little app - (which is NOT available from the Play Store by the way (smile)).  Drum roll please - enter Market Enabler.

The app is described as being an Android Paid Apps Market Enabler and does exactly what it say - it allows you to access paid apps from the Play Store (not for free unfortunately).

I should mention here that in order to get the app installed on your device you will WILL have to enable the  Allow Installation of Applications From unknown sources option on your Android device since the app must be sideloaded...(see here for more details) AND in order for it to actually work your device MUST BE ROOTED.
