Considering all the incredible progress that google has acomplished so far with Android I think that sooner or latter they will fix these problems. On May 31, 2010, at 2:07 AM, shiftyjelly <[email protected]> wrote:
Let's not be naive, Apple figured out how to sell in almost every country that matters from day 1 in the app store. If Google had wanted to they could have done the same, which tells me they don't think of it as a priority. What I was really hoping for was some kind of official response that said "we're working on it, expect it xxxxx"...all we get is silence instead ;) On May 31, 11:48 am, Craigo <[email protected]> wrote: Google pay into my Australian bank account for my AdSense revenue. So one would hope the Market will follow suit at some stage. It's probably some silly legal or tax reason why it's being held up.

I know it's a Google Checkout restriction, but really? You want to talk about how closed Apple is and how open Google is, how about 'opening' the market place to us Australians? Also is it just me or does the Google have no email addresses where we can ask these kind of questions and get a response? Even Apple offers those. Our Australian Weather app has sold very well on the iPhone, so it's not like there's no market in Australia for smart phone users and apps, but if you want us to take Android seriously this needs to be sorted out. The demand is starting to grow from our user base (a few of who have switched to Android), so what we need to know is: is it even worth us thinking about Android as Australian Developers? Yes I know we can offer the download outside the store and figure out our own payment model through Paypal or someone like that, but really, we've learnt one thing from Apple's store: The more steps you put between the user and the final purchase, the more likely they are to pull out at each step. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
