As far as I am concerned the reachability is very much important. like Android Market, if you examine in that manner. I respect your intentions, but uptill now through SlideME I could only sale 1 copy of my application, while in AndAppstore 0 , in Android Market very much, because of Android Market is much reachable than SlideME or AndAppstore, so I recommend SlideME and happy with the action of including in some phone models in some countires. I am much OK with Android Market. If SlideME comes in countries not allowed by Android Market, that would be great to see. and I think you should put your efforts in promoting SlideME rather then introducing a new Market. If you have the focus on a new market for top developers then , yes I am among top developer of Android application having more than 1.3 years of experience developing professionally for Android, my own application plus for big companies. I would certainly have interest in things for paid apps, and increasing sales in paid applications. If you model is good with increasing sales, then yes this work will be perfect :)
