Out of interest, how much would developers be willing to pay to cover testing 
costs?

 

AndAppStore has some links to OEMs who may be interested in this idea, but 
they'd probably want to ensure testing was appropriate so that it wouldn't 
tarnish their brand, so it will cost.

 

As I understand things the current costs on other platforms for "certification" 
are;

 

Apple : US$99 per year for unlimited apps

Microsoft : US$99 per submission

RIM : US$200 in advance for every 10 apps

 

So, given the number of Android devs who'd want to be involved would be quite 
low (because it's not a requirement for free apps and most Android developers 
produce free apps), I can see it costing around the US$75 - US$100 USD per app 
mark.

 

What do people think to this?

An official certification program for developers would be a good idea, but i 
don't support the google seal for apps idea.



take care,

Anyone think Google should have a certification process for apps?
Continue to allow most apps but for an extra small fee have apps given
a seal of approval?  This would give confidence in the market,
something iPhone users enjoy and Apple uses for marketing.
