Thank you for posting this!

Like others, the market closed when launched for me. I fixed this by installing the “GoogleServicesFramework.apk” from the .zip file linked in the other market thread. (Android Market for 7024).

The Google Services Framework allows you to link a Google account to your tablet. This was also my next problem – my tablet wouldn’t communicate with the Google server. I checked both “Background Data” and “Auto-sync” in Settings > Accounts & sync settings(as per another forum I found while searching for a solution, not positive you actually need to do this), and then restarted my tablet.

After restarting, I was able to create a Google account and access the market. I also successfully downloaded an app from the market.

mkol's method worked for me. I did not have check background data or auto-sync. But I did have to restart my tablet. But then the market started force closing on me.

UPDATE: The force closing seems to happen most if not all the time in portrait mode.

UPDATE 2: Clearing the markets cache seems to have stopped the force closes. Atleast for the time being.

I haven't had any force closes in either portrait or landscape mode, although I'm sure everyone's mileage will vary with these work around solutions.

I know we're not rooting and flashing new ROMs here, but I have seen force closes on new apps from APK UID mismatches. I'm not super knowledgeable in the linux system, but would a mismatch be possible if someone had tried installing a different market prior to the one in this thread?

Here is a forum post that explains some about mismatches: Android Forums - View Single Post - [How to] Install and Use Clockworkmod Recovery w/Screen captures (Mesmerize)

I'm guessing it doesn't apply in this situation, but it is still worth considering.
