I know one hesitation of developers for uploading content to alternative stores is the smaller number of downloads from users compared to the Android Market. I definitely understand that but I'd like to share with the community something I just recently read: http://vuthakh.blogspot.com/2009/09/htc-magic-beside-android-market-there.html
This guy lives in Cambodia and was about to return his HTC Magic since he couldn't download any apps, as there is no Android Market there. He downloaded SlideME from a bookmark that HTC put in the browser. After that he downloaded a number of applications (he lists some on his site) and now he is quite happy with his device. So even though you see smaller download numbers on alternative sites, they are in fact getting into the hands of some people that really appreciate the effort that developers have made. -- Shane Isbell (Co-founder of SlideME - The Original Market for Android) http://twitter.com/sisbell http://twitter.com/slideme --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
