I had thought more people would chime in on this. Do developers really not care?
On Android, I am really surprised about two things as a developer (and I don't know how it is on other platforms): 1) Piracy and criminal reselling are much more of an issue than I expected. And developers seem to adopt an attitude that this is just part of life. I strongly disagree. This makes Android less interesting for developers who try to make a living with creating apps (and don't tell me that it is unreasonable to try to make a living like that). 2) Users are cheap (maybe goes together with point 1). I have a free version of my main app (an alarm clock with all kind of bells and whistles) that doesn't ring on Wednesdays. I actually had one user comment that he changes the clock every Tuesday to Thursday so he tricks my app into ringing anyways. He rather does that every week than pay $2. To him, it is a sport to find a way not to pay me and he feels good about having succeeded in that. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
