There is a great post at Techneur on 10 Things I've learned About the Android Market citing more things that I didn't cover in my previous post.It is interesting that said ...
"People are paying for your applications.I saw the wallpaper apps that had hundreds of sales to $ 1. when I saw this, I knew that users Android would be willing to pay for something that has provided the utility. Our first load has nearly 100 sales within the first month at $ 1.99. "
Unfortunately 100 x $ 1.99 not even cover the time doing tech support, never mind thinking about how long it will take to recoup development costs.Is a similar situation with my Android app Database that he sold only one or two per day since March.Meanwhile, my freeware titles just went over 150,000 downloads.
Mike Rowehl covers a similar argument when he puts into question the ability to make money off Android applications. he thinks it is "available to consumers." iPhone customers have a strong desire for an iPhone, while customers Android "just out to get a good phone that isn't an iPhone".
Personally, I think a combination of … iPhone users tend to have more money (that's a car selection Prize market) is the iTunes store makes it easy to buy appsThe Android market makes it more difficult to buy applications (discovery and payment) think Android market will ultimately become a market of financed mainly by the announcement and freemium based apps. While I do not believe that there was no intention premeditated, ad-funded apps fulfill obviously very well Google.
