If you can find a way to do that while staying within the bounds of the Android Market Developer Distribution Agreement, yes. It's those pesky agreement terms that have been the issue to date when this topic has come up. IANALNDIPOOTV (I am not a lawyer, nor do I play one on TV), TINLA (this is not legal advice), and so forth...but my personal interpretation is that the only way you could do in-app payments under the Agreement is if Google offers that feature, the way Apple does. You're certainly welcome to distribute the app outside of the Market, in which case you will have fewer impediments to your model. And, you are certainly welcome to seek qualified legal counsel and try to come up with some other loophole. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _Android Programming Tutorials_ Version 1.0 In Print! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
