I suspect this is more of a case of Google gaining mindshare with Apps before charging for the service than it is an example of Google making any sort of shift in strategy.
- steveklabnik 17y agoThis was a total accident, where they were testing some new stylesheets and the free one got dropped by accident. It's back now.
- pedalpete 17y agoI think it was more of a 'test' than an 'accident'. About a month ago I couldn't find the free version, and it took a ton of hunting around to get to it. I suspect they were measuring the drop in app sign-ups, or if people just would pay. I'd be surprised if this type of accident would survive a month at google.
