Ask HN: Is Android Market the only way to sell apps?
I'm from a country that is still not allowed to sell Android apps. Probably because we can't have Google Checkout Merchant accounts. I developed a couple of apps that I'd like to sell. What are my other options? Thanks!

- fragmede 16y agoWhat country are you in? (and what country is your target market in?) Handango sells out-of-marketplace Android Apps - http://www.handango.com/info/Partner.jsp?storeId=2218 http://www.handango.com/info/Partner.jsp?storeId=2218 .

- milofelipe 16y agoI could try this but I can't distribute my free app through Android Market. They only allow apps that use Google Checkout for any form of payment processing. But I can just exhaust all possible channels to distribute my free apps and have a site where they register and pay via PayPal (PayPal is the simplest and easiest way for me to receive international payments right now). Thanks for this idea!
