Browse the market with a G1 and check the number of downloads of some of the at-price apps that compare to your friend's vision apps and that have been made available for download for a few weeks now. This would be a 15 to 30 minute exercise that will give you the business intel you are looking for. Then assume a return rate, deduct Google's 30% cut from the revenue. You're friend will now the applicable taxes, ODC etc. This will be an order of magnitude estimate only, but should be accurate enough to arrive at a conclusion.

He wondered whether it is financial sense to do so and I recommended the Android marketplace, but do not want to mislead him. While the commercial success of the iPhone marketplace is well known, what has been the commercial story of apps sold in the Android marketplace? How many downloads per month, how much sales volume in $, average price of an app, how many are free downloads vs paid, how many apps, how many G1 phones are around etc. Are there any reliable statistics from Google on this? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
