IMHO Nokia is after zenith.

It needs a lot of effort to make nice app for Symbian in Java. For Android it is quite easy. What I'm really wondering is why Google does not allow people to buy and sell from any country? Do they want to give Android the feeling that everything is for free and attract more users? Do they prefer money from ads to commission from Android Marker? This can be IMHO taint of Android as I love AdSense on Web (as I consider it useful) but I HATE ads in SW. Google's approach to Android Market makes me crazy. I like Google and many their ideas but Android Market looks like something artificially retarded.
