Hi Stoyan, We've checked with our lawyers and they said there is nothing in the Android Market T&C that would preclude developers from stocking applications on both the Android Market and alternative markets such as SlideME.
Basically, it's simple. You just register at https://slideme.org/user/register. Then stock your application, setting the price and agreeing to the Developer agreement. Your application then shows up on the SAM (client) catalog. If a user purchases with a credit card, your payout will be 95% - 0.05 transaction - applicable taxes: http://slideme.org/rate-schedule The user then needs to register and then setup payment information similar to Google checkout: we have a couple different processors they can choose from. Users are not restricted by country. Then they download our SAM client and can purchase. We currently don't support free upgrades for new versions, but if developers want this option, we can easily add support. Any further questions, let me know. We are small compared to Android Market , so we can respond to individual requests.
