Android Market officially hits the 100k mark
At first glance, this may come off as slightly confusing, as this isn't the first time the Android Market has been rumored to hit 100,000 apps. Back in July, AndroidLib announced that the Market had reached the 100k mark. Shortly thereafter, the fine folks at Google took it upon themselves to set the confusion straight: The Market had really reached 70,000, not...

Paid Android apps have been severely limited in their user-base, and Google is slowly changing this. Today they're adding support for 20 more countries, making 32 countries total that can purchase paid apps and 29 that can develop them. Google also promises that over the next two weeks, users from 18 more countries will be able to purchase paid apps. Although...

Verizon Wireless has their own app store in the works, which they're calling V CAST Apps. They've already been accepting submissions for two weeks, and will host a developers conference on September 21-22 where they'll most likely have details and more announcements. The standard requirement for V CAST is Android 2.2, and on Verizon that means the whole Droid... Read more » Want to purchase Android apps with PayPal?
I was thrilled when the ability to charge apps to my T-Mobile bill came along, and I was greatly disappointed to see how often the option was actually available. Sometimes it's there; sometimes it isn't. And I don't like having a bunch of transactions being sent separately to my credit card. It's difficult to keep track of purchases (and therefore notice something... Read more » Android Market gets Carrier Billing, makes it easier to install Paid Apps
The most popular way of installing apps on Android is the Android market. However, installing paid apps is quite different from installing free apps. The Android market currently works on a charge per paid app install basis. Therefore, if we install a paid app, we will need to pay at the end of each single transaction using Google Checkout. However, some changes can... Read more » Archos 5 gets paid Market Apps
Archos recently released an update to their Archos 5 Internet Tablet. The most substantial feature in the update, is the ability to purchase and install paid Market apps. In my opinion, this is a HUGE win for the device. Users can now install premium apps, that were once inaccessible. While this doesn't make the Archos 5 an "iPad killer", it does bring us...

On Google's Q1 2010 Earnings call, Google officially announced that there are 38,000 apps in the Android Market. Now, just about two weeks later, reports are trickling in that the Market has unofficially hit 50,000 apps. All attributions point to one place: AndroLib. AndroLib.com is a popular website used to search for apps, read reviews, and check pricing. ... Read more » Google may allow Market apps to be purchased via PayPal
Yesterday, in an informal meeting, PayPal spoke about plans to introduce in-app purchasing options for iPhone and Android. As you may know, Google does not currently allow in-app purchases (peep the Market distribution agreement). However, Jonathan George (of Boxcar) confirmed, with PayPal, that the iPhone library would allow in-app purchases for "physical goods... Read more » Access the Android Market from DroidDog!

We've heard the story a number of times: Android app developers are having too much trouble making a living with their wares, and many are turning to - or refocusing on - creating iPhone software. Apple's App Store has long held an alluring, record-deal-in-the-sky-like promise for coders: If you create excellent software and the planets align just thusly, you might... Read more »
