They did announce the 'Web Store' at IO which is most probably the shared future with Android Market. i.e. Buy your web apps or your android apps from the same store, the store that runs in HTML5 on your desktop, and therefore most probably will also run on your Android (and 'soon' your Google TV too). It sounded like this time around, Google is really committed to making the Web Store a truly international store like the web itself, 'soon'.
You've got to start realising that these Java programs we are writing are just a part of 'the transition path' to web apps proper. The Web Store will probably cater for both the new breed of applications and the legacy Java apps too. If we make our apps run in the Browser instead, then we can reach a far, far larger marketplace. Sure, there'll be some serious competition from the Flash programming community and the high schools kids too (particularly on the games front), but we'll always be able to do better system-oriented stuff in Java then them - the system stuff that Android itself doesn't cover or do well at, at the moment. However, the greatly expanded future marketplace (i.e. the 'world-wide' web, and TV too) should make it feesible for us all to make a decend living.
