Coinciding with T-Mobile G1’s beginning of shipment is the launch of the Android Market that’s Google’s version of the Apple App Store. The Android Market will sell applications for the Google Android operating system, of course, that will no longer be mean just the G1 in the near future.
Aside from being able to download applications from the Android Market, users can rate the available apps and participate in discussions making it a community-driven marketplace. App developers can start submitting their works starting October 27, 2008 with a one-time registration fee of US$25. After the initial run of free test apps, developers will be able to set their own prices for their works and get to keep 70% of the revenues generated, with the balance going to the carrier – Google would like to point out that they get nothing at all.
In other news, the hot off T-Mobile’s shelves G1 already gets a software upgrade tomorrow. Additionally, Kyocera is the newest company to declare a Google Android phone in the works.
