[android-developers] Re: Will ADP1 support payed apps from the store
Because on a phone with root access, you can easily copy a copy-protected.apk file and that would defeat the purpose of copy-protection. A developer who wants to reach a broader segment of the market should not use the copy-protection feature.

[android-developers] Re: Will ADP1 support payed apps from the store
Yeah, big disappointment here. Google sells Developer phones to many countries like Canada but from here we are not allowed to sell application or view paid applications. This is not looking good for me since I don't see they will give a solution anytime soon. I'm really thinking to stop developing and move back the iPhone.

[android-developers] Re: Will ADP1 support payed apps from the store
Android Market is one of the powers of Android. One market for all android apps. The other companies like Samsung, Motorola and etc. have no big interest to make a different Markets. The center market is a big plus. There is no need to decentralize it. But this is not the point. My question is in other direction. Will be there a support for paid apps in ADP1. This problem should be solved.

Were doing ok in the Market. In some cases the apps are doing as well as their iPhone versions did. Nice ratings on Pigs and Blackjack as well.

Google does not take a percentage from the 30% fee: it goes to carriers and for billing settlement.

[android-developers] Re: Will ADP1 support payed apps from the store
The only apps that are hidden are copy-protected apps. If their is a priced application that does not use that feature, it currently shows up on my dev phone. One catch that I have discovered is that you need to have a SIM in the phone.

[android-developers] Re: Will ADP1 support payed apps from the store
I really don't belive that Android Market has bright future. Everything is going slow and it is strange that developers can spend 400 dollars plus shipping... but we can't sell applications. But that is not the only reason I think that Android Market is going to loose its role. In future Samsung, LG and probably all other phone manufacturers will have their own Markets. Android OS is open source project and Samsung and other will probably remove Android Market from their phones and will put shortcut to their Market. Why to loose such opportunity? They want money and don't want to give 30% to Google when they can earn that money instead. I guess that phone manufacturers will create much better markets and when they do that it will be faster and better because they need to earn money now when phone sales are down. So we'll have to wait few more months but I guess that from october or november we'll have few first class markets available and only smaller companies that don't have its own Markets will let Google to ear 30%... But how long it will take before even smaller players create their Markets is just question of time. In the meanwhile switch to iPhone, Symbian or just continue to write Android applications and the real markets will come...
