Any android device, phone or not can have the market it on it. People from other countries can also purchase paid applications if their country has not yet been enabled.
This was the concept behind the "Market Enabler" and the research done behind it. It's my understanding that the carrier that the device is on, receives the chuck of the fees. So throwing a T-Mobile sim card inside the Nexus One will net T-Mobile with those fees. If you load up an Archos and use the Market Enabler, T-Mobile might get those too, depending if you use those tmobile "credentials" to access the market. The market is filtered by your carrier, then your device (by software id). That doesn't stop someone with a low software version and no carrier from spoofing everything and having the "fee" go to someone it theoretically shouldn't... -Tim Strazzere On Feb 23, 11:00 am, Mark Murphy <mmur...@commonsware.com> wrote: > Disconnect wrote: > > Google has been very vague about where that 30% goes when you're on a > > nexus, adp, etc. > > Yes, that's true. > > Better yet, what about devices that just simply aren't phones? > Admittedly, I'm not aware of a non-phone with the Android Market on it > yet, but I presume it's only a matter of time. > > -- > Mark Murphy (a Commons > Guy)http://commonsware.com|http://twitter.com/commonsguy > > Android Development Wiki:http://wiki.andmob.org -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
