One can get Google Apps with Ermine 1.xxx.
But not all of them are going to work, e.g., Market, Gtalk, text-to-speech, for various reasons.
And the main one being they want cell connection.
Market is a special case as it wants your device to be provisioned by cell carrier.
So, people who have a second Android phone already provisioned by the carrier can get their Market working by moving their data from the phone to the PE/EE.
As I don't have the second Android device I use emulator method. It has its cons and pros:
con - it's two-step process as oppose to one.
pros - I always have backup; many apps recently want to be installed on SD card and it doesn't work for eDGes. So, one needs two-step process anyway to be able to fix that. And with direct access to Market it's impossible to catch the app, it just fails to be installed and disappears from the device.
