Wow! You should make use of the full stop and capital letters to break your sentences once in a while :) Patents aside, in-app purchases are nice, and overall provide a better user experience. However, * the whole in-app billing system is still a bit buggy and breaks once in a while * there are issues with older Android versions * coding it is more work * you have to come with some scheme to protect your purchase database from copying it to another phone * some people expect a 'pro' application download even when you explicitly say that there is none * carrier billing doesn't work, at least on some carriers Just a few things to consider. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
