Application sales in Android are not only bad, they are extremely bad. I have an application in iPhone and every single day I sale copies. I'm not rich but it is enough to pay my rent and then some. In Android I released the same app and sales are bad, no, extremely bad. I cannot even pay for a meal at a restaurant. I'm now convinced that until sales start to pick up, if ever, it is extremely stupid for me to develop for Android. I will now only develop for Apple. I will however participate in Android challenge.

You can't argue with end users and say "Your perception is incorrect". The customer is always right. The proof is in the pudding, to use another ancient expression. No one is buying.

At some point they had to enter their details into PayPal, it's just that at the time they happened to be on a full sized keyboard. Once they've gone through all the hoopla, it'll be far easier than paypal to use to buy new apps and when the next online payment method comes along they'll be asking if they can avoid all the hoopla and just use their checkout account.

It would be WAY easier than going through the hoopla of pulling out me cc and entering all that ridiculous info on this tiny keypad". Yup.
