Google has announced that the Android Market will be open to all developers starting this week, aiming to add more apps to its current 50 applications. Any developer will be able to register for $25 and upload their application to the market. The fee is intended to ensure that each developer is validated and accountable to their apps.
Applications made for the Android Market will not require any approval which pleased many developers as they won’t have to wait for months before their work could be offered in the store. The apps are available for free as of now, but developers will be able to sell their apps starting first quarter next year. They will earn 70 percent of the revenue generated from each application acquired. The remaining 30 percent will go to carriers who offer Android phones and to billing statement fees.
The Android Market helps developers get their applications in the hands of users by acting as an open distribution system. The first set of applications displayed by Google came from its Android Developer Challenge competition.
