I'm still afraid that sales via slideme.org will be just a very small
fraction comparing to selling my own licence keys to free apps via
paypal. If you compare download rates for the same app on Android
Market and on Slideme there is significant difference.
But slideme.org is IMHO a proof that
For Point 5, I think you cannot submit any apps to android market with the
license key activation required as a free app.
The policy are restricted the developers to use their authorize payment
processor.

What makes me crazy about Amir's vision:
For my country there is no authorized processor. Because of Google's
approach we are criticizing here.
I would love to use Google's immediately.
I spent 350USD (phone and market entry fee) to start developing for Android
and I would like to get my investment back. I hoped Google will help me by

Unfortunately there is MANY alternative markets with very small share

If what you say is true and they take 30% where there is no carrier deal in
place then they have NO excuse (at least from our perspective) not to

In Google IO, they showed an app being installed to a smartphone
directly from a desktop browser (via the internet). I'm hoping this
will become a way to buy/install apps bypassing the Android Market app
and so could potentially open app-purchases to countries that do not

Push IMHO is just remote command for Android Market client not bypassing
Android Market itself. I can imagine that alternative markets will use this

In the 8 months of 'nothing' from Google on this issue, we've seen a
way to make it work for the software developer too, as it should:
This other approach involves 'not killing iPhone', but maintaining
some plurality in your platform dev choice.
Consider the Android market as your 'test' market,
One of the advantages of the application market SlideMe.org (http://
slideme.org) is that they handle all the tax payments themselves, the
vendor does not have to. The vendor receives the payment from slideme
instead of direct from the end user.
Another advantage is that you really can use it
Surely you can use SlideME from Singapore. The list of apps is not

still pretty good. Go to http://slideme.org.

Hi,
I don't think that this will happen any time soon for you in
Singapore. Google is living on ads and few months ago Google bought
AdMob for 750 million dollars. It it not in their interest to improve
paid apps after they invested so much money in mobile advertising.
Last year Google said that
This sounds terribly. I love AdSense in web pages as it is not
annoying but sometimes even useful. But I really hate ads in software.
I wish what you wrote bellow is not true :-(

For sure that it's a different (and possibly exciting) interaction model for
apps, but honestly the revenue is far less garmented. I don't see why they
don't just take a cut from app purchases and then put that towards
