Android Market links on non Android browsers

Question

Android Market links go to 404 on non Android browsers. When will Google fix this?

It's really annoying having to check the user-agent and displaying something else for non Android browsers.

Answer 1

Don't use the market:// syntax anymore. You can use http://market.android.com/details?id=com.example.abc and it will be picked up by the Market app if on the phone, or if not supported (pc, no Market installed) sent to the Market website.
