Sent to you by Sanga TheMoneyMaker Mugabi via Google Reader: Is Google Discouraging Paid Android Apps? via Daring Fireball by John Gruber on 8/16/10
Royal Pingdom: You can only pay for apps in 13 out of the 46 or so countries where Android phones are available. For those of you who like stats, 13 in 46 works out to less than 30%. Contrast this with Apple’s App Store, which supports paid apps in 90 countries. This is a huge advantage iPhone developers currently have over Android developers. The cynical view: Google prefers free Android apps over paid ones, because free apps try to make money through ads, and Google serves nearly all the in-app ads for Android apps. ★ Things you can do from here: - Subscribe to Daring Fireball using Google Reader - Get started using Google Reader to easily keep up with all your favorite sites
