Well, Funky Expenses is making around 50c a day (yes 50 cents) as an ad-supported program with 1800ish market registered active installs and admob advertising.
Hopefully once Google re-enable the companies checkout account we can list the ad-free pay-for version and generate some revenue that way (it was suspended due to not agreeing to a new ToS), although there are some users who've uninstalled the app because they don't want ads in the program and won't pay for the ad-free version (ahh... what it would be to be able to run the company for free). Only time will tell whether the Android ecosystem will be able support companies, but at the moment it's not looking too good.

Sadly I've seen a number of apps / games on Android which are probably not selling even 10 copies - I don't know for a fact but they just show as <50 downloads and maybe 0 or 1 reviews. I'm not sure what period those sales figures below are over - but if you look at an earlier thread I started on this, here's some slightly old figures for some more popular Android apps : Power Manager Full $0.99 (10,000 - 50,000) -> $29,700 = $20,790 (after fees) aHome $4.99 (10,000 - 50,000) -> $149,700 = $104,790 (after fees) TouchDown Pro License $24.99 (500 - 1,000) -> $18,743? = $13,121 (after fees) I suppose aHome / OpenHome may hit $500,00 after a year of trading if it stays at the top of the charts. Just speculation though.
