Paid-for applications coming to Google's Android Market    [ 06-01-2009 23:04 ]

Author: Serge Novikov     Translation by: Administrator     

Currently, Google's open-source Android OS's Android Market, where you can download applications for your Android device (with T-Mobile's G1 being the only one currently available), consists of only free applications. However, that, is about to change, in the United Kingdom, and United States of America (for now), at least. Because, later on in the month, developers will be allowed to release paid-for applications on the Android Market, with the UK and USA being the first countries to develop and download paid-for applications, with Germany, Austria, The Netherlands, France, Italy and Spain following shortly thereafter.

Also, the Android Market will be available to new countries, such as Germany, Austria, Czech Republic and The Netherlands, in the coming weeks, with free, and paid-for applications set to be available.Lastly, Google will be launching an Android Market Website, for publishers, to allow them to target their applications at selected countries.
