Google offers paid before applications Android
Developers of mobile applications will soon be able to offer paid Android applications on the market, according to Eric Chu, director of marketing group to group Google Android.
Chu sent an e-mail to tell developers a payment option is on track for the first quarter of 2009, and that content creators May be specific regions with different versions of the same approx.
“I would also like to confirm that support Android applications market prices early in Q1 2009 as originally told us last fall,” Chu wrote in an e-mail obtained by the Authority Android. “Taking into account the country by the work required to establish the payment of support for developers from different countries, allowing a price at the 1st quarter of support for developers in these countries in the following order: (1) U.S. and the UK (2) Germany, Austria and the Netherlands, (3) France, Italy and Spain. ”
Being able to sell Google applications can the operating system platform more attractive for large developers like Electronic Arts. Android EA already sells games like “Tetris” in the shop of mobile applications such as Handango, but be able to get Android on the market ensures greater visibility.
The change could also help developers Android Woo outside the Apple Store Manager. Google says it will be very little control over such material Android is on the market, even if the applications to compete with Google’s own products. By contrast, Apple restricts the creation of the developers of applications that duplicate the functions of the iPhone, a company can not create a browser or music player for the iPhone 3G.
In addition, Android should be several phones in 2009, opening a potentially huge audience for developers. However, that different materials may also be a thorn in the side of developers, because they are added to the compatibility tests because not all combined Android have the same characteristics or method of entry.
In the short term, developers will probably remain the App Store because users have already downloaded over 300 million applications in about six months. While large companies to create content for as many platforms as possible, with smaller developers to focus resources on the App Store, because it offers a potentially lucrative opportunity that can be very tempting for ‘ignore.
