- fierarul 16y agoExactly! I'm not interested in Android precisely because I cannot sell nor buy Android apps from my country. There is also very little demand from clients (compared to iOS). The problem for Google is that people from Romania have been able to buy and sell iOS apps since 2008 or so. I do desktop Java apps on OSX so it would actually have been a smoother transition to do some Android coding on the side, but I learned Objective-C instead. Then I bought iOS gear for testing so I really don't see myself doing an Android app very soon or buying an Android device. The International market seems to be a big problem: it's semi-amusing to read a new announcement and then look into the specifics to learn it is US-only or for a very limited subset of countries (the last ones I looked at were Amazon Kindle developer program, Amazon's new Android AppStore).
- thingie 16y agoWhat limitations are there now? I live in the Czech republic and I believed that paid apps would not be available there, but in the last week, I was able to buy anything I wanted, via google checkout, without any problems. Perhaps I've missed something.
