I believe that the 30% went to the carriers only? If what you say is true and they take 30% where there is no carrier deal in place then they have NO excuse (at least from our perspective) not to implement *good* paid markets everywhere. For every minute that they don't they are loosing significant revenue.
In my mind the Google Market is key. This is what will really be the iPhone killer. Get this right and people will consider to move which means big dollars for Google (directly or indrectly). Right now it's just idle threats for people who criticize the iPhone, Apple Store and it's many flaws. There's no better alternative. I guess this is a slight rave, but to talk a little further on this when I read a previous thread in regards to Google ignoring petitions. Seems almost like shooting themselves in the foot. If enough people want something, why wouldn't they listen to them and implement? Seems like Google has grown so big and impersonal that it's loosing touch with it's customers (developer customers that is). Pity... because eventually they will figure this out. But in the meantime they will miss significant revenue and fast-mover advantage. -- "The greatest challenge to any thinker is stating the problem in a way that will allow a solution" - Bertrand Russell Andy Savage Cell Phone: +852 936 34341 Skype ID: andy_savage Linked In: http://www.linkedin.com/in/andysavage 2010/5/26 Tomáš Hubálek <[email protected]> > > > On 26 kvě, 04:37, Andy Savage <[email protected]> wrote: > > > I for one certainly wouldn't mind 10% of my revenue going their way if > the > > apps store was fantastic and it was available everywhere. > > FYI: Google takes 30% of your revenue in chosen countries ;-) > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google > Groups "Android Developers" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected] > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected]<android-developers%[email protected]> > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers?hl=en > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
