android marketplace is a place to buy binaries. if you got access to the code then just build it. but a lot of android apps are not open source right? the fact that they are not selling in the philippines is bad for their business. im beginning to see android as an exclusive club for rich players. an alternative app store for selling open source binaries is very badly needed. people actually laugh at that because they dont think that selling open source apps will make any sense. 10 php binaries actually makes sense. people would actually rather just do their tasks than spend the whole day looking for source code and figuring out how to build them. -- quarq consulting: agile, open source _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List http://lists.linux.org.ph/mailman/listinfo/plug Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
