Unlikely. We are not competing on a level playing field here. The guy who created the Finance app did this on his 20% allowance and I suppose the other apps are built on Company time as well. Gosh, I am sure they can go out and "recruit" some of their graphic artists to spend their 20% time on icons and stuff while we have to shell $ over if we want to do this. If this trend continues, it will just help drive devels away from the platform. And even if all is done on devel's own time: As soon as an app with a Google label appears that's similar to yours, you can pack up. ** And all this goes on while the Android Market is screaming for no- brainer improvements such as a web site and all the other things that have been discussed here. The guys in the Castle really need to ask themselves where they invest their time. ** And yeah, unless you've noticed already, I find this annoying. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
