Are they sure that isn't the agreement for the premium store? Apple are raising the bar for that so it would make sense to offer the customer 90 day guarantee, etc. for more expensive apps. Al.

The one indicated is supposed to be handed out to big name developers now, and all other developers will be required to sign it soon. I haven't read it personally.

Even more interesting is the fact that Apple reserves the right to KEEP THEIR COMMISSION once the product is returned. If you decide to read the comments, there are some interesting posts. In particular, one reader sets teh record straight as to why casual games will FAIL on Android: "You might say that we shouldn't be making games that can be completed in couple of hours however whenever you're looking to sell it for a couple of dollars then you can't justify the huge budgets that those games require. The casual games market is for people who want a quick fix, nothing more. It's like saying that you can download a movie and then "return" it after 24 hours. Total stupidity, but then again Google doesn't give a damn about content creators, just themselves." I don't agree with the last line, as I feel Google is just misguided in their efforts. We'll see how the 'casual games' market pans out int the future... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
