[android-developers] Re: New countries !!!!

[Craigo]

I registered an account in the United States (gave up waiting), and
now I would like to switch the country to my actual country, however,
it doesn't let me.  Anyone know if this is possible?

Hey its definitely a step in the right direction.
And should hold out hope that it will be rolled out further.

Its certainly opened up the type of apps that I will consider
developing now that I can sell into the market.

I just registered here in Brazil. It links to your AdSense account so
you can receive the payments. I thought it was a pretty clever way to
do it, using the existing AdSense system so they wouldn't have to
implement payment systems for every country. Maybe the restrictions to
Czech Republic and Poland have something to do with the availability
of AdSense in those countries (can anyone from those countries
enlighten us?).
It's lame, but having 20 additional countries selling apps is a pretty
big deal (from the handful that there was before) and I'm sure they'll
continue expanding, especially with Android's increased growth in
market share.

Many many thanks Google

would likely miss out again... )

Look forward to you bringing the rest of the world in as well.

Pretty disappointed for not having India in the list. But congrats to

in that list.

In the meantime, you can still get your apps published on Slideme
(http://slideme.org) or Getjar (http://getjar.com). They are not as
big as Google, of course, but they do have the advantage that people
already know about them in countries where Google is not established/
present.

I'm not an AdSense user, although from what I just read, AdSense support has
been brought to Czech Republic few years ago (it even has UI in Czech

Great news!
But for some reason citizens of couple of countries will have to create
Google AdSense account to make payments available.
Somebody can explain why?

AFAIK, since Google Checkout is not available in those countries, they
needed another Google-approved, hacky method of distributing payments, which
AdSense provides. Can't wait to see how well that works out ...

[android-developers] Re: New countries, but not possible to move existing account?

[webmonkey]

I would also like to know this. But you may actually want to switch to
a US account if you can. A few days ago the SwiftKey app switched from
UK£0.60 to US$0.99 because like many non-US developers they were
getting a lot of "payment declined" US orders.

http://www.swiftkey.net/blog/?p=102

So it is possible. Anyone know what steps to take?

(It would of course be better if Google actually addresses the
currency issue, especially now there are more countries. It frustrates
a lot of US users and that is the biggest market.)

Then I would have to setup a US company with a US bank account. I
would prefer to keep things simple as paid revenue doesn't amount to
much in the Android world.

But I couldn't get any answers on the Android Market forums or Google
Checkout forums and since Google doesn't offer phone or email support
(must be the only company that does this to it's customers?) then we
are stuck with the UK company for now.

If anyone manages to move their apps to a new account or change the
country of their existing account then please let me know! :-)

[Denis Souza]

Just saw this: 
http://forum.samdroid.net/f15/google-brings-paid-apps-13-more-countries-2483/


Today Google finally announced that paid apps are now available in

Argentina
Belgium
Brazil
Finland
Hong Kong
Israel
Mexico
Poland
Romania
Russia,
Slovakia
Singapore
and South Africa.

Sweden and Hungary are also rumored to receive Android apps, but no
words on it at the moment. India still misses out the list.


I don't know if there will be more (I'm guessing, yes) but the
question still in my mind is: when will all these countries be able to
SELL apps?

I really do hope that that issue gets resolved soon!  But not sure if
it will during this type of update...

I don't think 3 times a year is a solution and I would definitely not
like it to be like that... I believe that the current available
solutionon the Market works perfect BUT... The issue is mostly that
spammers put a trillion of the same applications on the Market... So
that takes away from us the beauty of the Just In feature... :(

All they need to do extend the mark-comment-as-spam feature (which hides a
comment from your personal view) up to developers, so users can flag
whomever they consider to be spammers and never have to see their apps ever
again - no moderation necessary.

The day I can filter out all of the crapps by Michael Quach and M Star LLC
