Look up on Google Play! It's a Rip off! It's a Scam! It's a Super Shenanigan!
The Android ecosystem never fails to present new and fascinating get-rich-schemes.

'Can I use Raccoon to download paid apps for free?' - Ok, it's a question that pops up now and then, so we probably have to talk about it.

Well, Trumpelstilzchen won (this time). The Huawei Mate 30 won't come preloaded with Google Apps, meaning it will pretty much not come at all. But what if Huawei decided to simply ignore the embargo and ship with the Gapps suite anyway. After all, the company is based in China, way outside of US jurisdiction. Could Google lock Huawei out of Play if push came to shove?
Harmony OS - the Android Killer?

Can't happen? Does! Be careful what you sign up for (pun intended).
