While Android seems to be raging recently, however not all users are able to buy application through Market (Thanks Google and their limited policy).
I just don't know why should I developing an app for a platform that doesn't really convinced me that it will make me some profit. At the very least, Google should be able to provide the number of users logging in to the Market and download paid applications. I have an unrooted phone sitting here and like 65% of the apps (if not more) consists of some show-random-photos and sound-clips, I don't even know if I should call them applications any more. So unless the apps get some recommendation from somebody, it is more than likely that it will not get hit unless user know what they are looking for. The problem comes from the ability for developer to sell and buyer to buy. It doesn't matter how many phone will be bought in the following year or how many model will come out. If the user can't buy it, those number are meaningless to developers. The whole concern was actually from people asking why am I doing it when I dont get paid. It's actually a very good question. Not to mention couple of iPhone developers that suggest AppStore. It's all based on some article on the net and people around me though. Has anybody feeling that way as well? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
