Developers criticise Google's Android Market
- mithaler 16y agoHere's an unorthodox idea: if it sucks so much, why do we need the Android Market? Yes, by default it requires checking a box in the Settings to install apps anywhere else. But what's stopping developers from marketing their apps through, I dunno, pretty AdMob ads, Reddit posts, Lifehacker write-ups, anything? Or even marketing apps through other means and linking them with Market URLs to bypass all the cruft? I think it can be done.
