Delay is the norm at Google. They promised that they will announce the deadlines of the paid market availability for other countries by the end of Q1, it's at least a 5 months delay. On aug. 23, 19:06, mscwd01 wrote: > I think Google has obviously encountered problems - probably with the > ratin

How is it related to Google? I don't know the details, but I'm unsure whether we have to expect Android Market client installed on it. Probably an independent Chinese store would be better for us as Google's progress is extremely slow. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You rece

The 70% part is simple, it's between you and the buyer and add the appropriate TAX to it depending of the 2 countries. But it shouldn't be true for the 30%, it's between you and Google using maybe a different TAX. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message beca

It'd be true for an Android only client, but the main product is a server side service, this requires subscription, and there are free clients for it (an Android, a desktop app, a web site, maybe iPhone, or J2ME apps). On Feb 18, 4:05 pm, george_c wrote: > Collect fees for subs also via AM. Then
