A huge impediment to developing apps for Android seem to be the absolutely incredible shortcomings of Google Checkout. Most countries cannot even buy paid apps, even fewer countries can publish paid apps. That kills pretty much any incentive for many developers, especially with a new "iPhone devs make bajillions" article every other day. The saddest thing about it is that Google do not seem to be moving about this, at all. Android Apps, E-Commerce sites, etc., lots of people are waiting for worldwide Google Checkout. I don't get why Google don't get it.
