Android Market - Apple App Store Killer?
Techtree News Staff, Aug 29, 2008 1720 hrs IST
At the Android Market, the content developers will have freedom to make their content available openly unlike the Apple App Store
Google's Android developer community has announced Android Market, a service
similar to the Apple App Store. As per the post on Android Developers Blog, the Android Market is an open-
content system that will help end-users search, purchase, download and install featured
apps and other software directly to Android-based phones and devices. Initially, Android-
based handsets will feature Android Market beta version service commercially.
Google will host the content from developers with rating and feedback system. At the
Android Market, the content developers will have freedom to make their content available
openly unlike the Apple App Store, which has monitored and controlled membership as
well as posting. Apart from that, support for free applications would also be available. Only
concern about the Android Market will be licensing, security and stability of the apps.
Android Market beta version will have free apps and also subsequent firmware update
that will provision the phones for other paid versions in future.
The mobile operating system is really picking up now. After Apple App Store and Android
Market, what next? Perhaps a similar service might be started by Symbian when it goes
open-source, Microsoft for the Windows Mobile or Research In Motion.
Whenever Android-power handsets are available in India, developers and users will be
able to enjoy the open environment of the Android Market.
