Google Maps on my Android (Galaxy Nexus) phone has now developed an annoying habit of making the keyboard disappear while I'm typing in an address. I type in a couple of letters and the keyboard slides out. I tap again in the input box

Any data on how this works for kids apps? It seems like there's something of a backlash against IAP for kids-targeted apps. Paid kids apps also have the benefit that parents pay when they install the app on the device -- rather than a pay p
