There are a lot of questions surrounding tomorrow night’s 6 hour market outage, but our buddies over at Phandroid have uncovered what looks to be the initial steps to everyone seeing a browser-based market that was first demoed back at Google I/O.  We are expecting to see Gingebread at any day, and as some of you may remember, one of the new features said to be included with this Android version was indeed a pretty-new market that would run in a browser.
