- netrus 15y agoBecause Android Market users more often download free apps than users of the AppStore. Google most likely intends to get people to enter their CC number, and to get used to pay for apps.
- hugoc 15y agoI can see google wanting to have your credit card number in file to ease future purchases ;)

- ryandvm 15y agoMy guess is $0.10 might be cheap enough to motivate people to jump the "pain in the ass" bar that is entering credit card data. The fact that Apple forces iTunes sign-up before you can use the iPhone gives paid iPhone apps a huge advantage over Android Market apps.
- Kell 15y agoAnd it works... I just updated my Wallet account with my new credit card number. It's been months that I was like "Oh... no I'm not buying that 2$ app... I'm to lazy to update my credit card". And well, now I have 10 new great apps I bought for 1$ ! And ready to buy more. Damn... I'm being manipulated and actually liking it :-).
- tudorw 15y agoI believe if you make an app free on the Android market you cannot then go back to charging for that app, it is a one way trip.
- andrewpi 15y agoPaid apps are permanently associated with your Android Market account, unlike free apps.
