Just to update everyone, I did in fact post my application to SlideME even despite some negative comments here. I emailed with one developer who had a mostly positive experience. Of course I should mention that this developer's name was supplied to me by SlideME, so they probably knew he didn't have any issues. Regardless, what he said seemed believable, so I decided to give it a try.
George-> I think there are some important takeaways here for SlideME. Basically you need to make the whole invoice/payment process both clearer (put it all up on the website), and easier (copying and pasting is bad), formatting invoices bad. Basically your service just won't be tolerated if developers have to do a lot of work to get paid, because it makes your company seem less believable (hence this thread). Make it simpler and clearer. You can't keep saying things like "we are not able to take all developers by the hand if they do not submit as we require such paperwork". Since you don't have any information about this whole invoice submittal, formatting thing on the website you are going to have to hand hold everyone. I think your site could also be a little clearer about fees and taxes, and you need a way for developers to get amounts <$100 without discussion. I've only had 3 sales so far on SlideME (compared to 200+ per day on Android Market) so not much to go on there. I think SlideME needs to do more marketing/advertising if they are going to have it take off. -Paul -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
