In App Billing now live in Android Market too!

This is definitely some reason for Android Developers to cheer that Android finally supports in-app billing.

What you get now ?
  • You can use the service to sell a wide range of content, including downloadable content such as media files or photos, and virtual content such as game levels or potions.
  • Any application that you publish through Android Market can implement in-app billing.
  • No special account or registration is required other than an Android Market publisher account & a Google Checkout Merchant account. 
  • Android Market uses the same checkout service that is used for application purchases, so your users experience a consistent and familiar purchase flow.
As with application purchases, Android Market charges a fee of 30% for anything sold via in-app billing, which is the industry standard. Hopefully this will help developers more effectively monetize their applications on Android Market — historically users have been less willing to pay for apps on Android than they have on Apple’s App Store.

  1. I’ve read your blog and was wondering if you would like to review a product that has just launched. It is a risk analysis manual, with two associated templates. The business intelligence is in the risk categories in first template and associated questions in the manual.

    The product can be supplied on an evaluation basis for review purposes, if you like. The website is: http://plainprocess.com
