There shouldn't be any conversion on this topic, pirated software is illegal.

This is only a matter of time. Remember ours are free, so apps take longer to develop, that doesn't mean that there won't be as many, you'll just have to wait a bit longer

That's the whole point, take a look in Extras, all free. People don't need pirated software here. Don't think you quite get the concept?

So non-western countries can't afford apps, but they can afford $500-600 on the device??? Plus gps software and maps are native, plus others that will come along. Which software did you mean by the way?

True, but I brought it for live, not everyone wants to be a criminal.

There is always interest and always will be, but you can't base your decision on whether you can get your hands on cracked software???

If your interested buy the device, learn about it, wait for other lovely people to design new apps and upload them to here for free, or design them yourself.
