Looks like a great day for Android developers: Apart from the Honeycomb preview, Google also outlined improvements for the Android market, such as in-app purchases, carrier billing and weeding out apps that violate Google terms of service. Here's an eye witness report:

Does that mean you add what's essentially bookmarks to web pages or Flash apps to the Android market, as with the Chrome store? Maybe he was just misquoted. And I'm also not sure why Google will support another payment system with carrier billing - they already have Google Checkout, why don't they just roll that out in more countries instead? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
