T-Mobile G1 owners will be pleased to hear that the Android Market has officially opened its doors. G1 owners are able to browse and download all kinds of different apps and games. Last I heard there were 50 or so apps in the Market. Not bad for an initial offering.
Starting next monday, October 27th, Android developers will be able to register and upload their own apps to the Android Market. Developers need to register and pay a one time $25 application fee however. I’d pay it. What the heck… a one-time payment for access to the Android Market? Sounds like a great deal.
Starting in early 2009, developers will apparently be able to charge for their applications. 70% of the revenue goes to the developer, while the other 30% goes to carriers and billing settlement fees. I’m really interested to read more about the Android Market/Developer agreement once it becomes available.
