come on. please don't just guess. please list whatever you think promising and brief how.
it can be very appreciated even by android developers who otherwise might never know WHY they developed the apps ^_^ ----- Original Message ----- From: Muthuselvam Ramadoss To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, April 15, 2008 10:59 AM Subject: [android-challenge] Re: Which apps would you install to your phone? The web ad model might not work as is on a mobile. But as Alex rightly pointed out, strategic location based services might bring in a lot of money.

The point is if the free service is compelling and users like it, then monetizing will not be an issue. We see a lot of examples on the web, don't we?

Agree. If the users want your free service, they'll pay anything to get them :-) On Tue, Apr 15, 2008 at 11:49 PM, Shane Isbell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Free services really aren't free. Sure the application is free but you need to updgrade to a higher data plan, buy a high-end device, pay for MMS or SMS messages that the application sends. Using the free service also exposes the user to various paid services, which they may opt in for.
