Google have announced the system they will use to get applications developers have created to mobile users. It’s called Android Market. Google say it will be a bit like You Tube and they want to make it as open and easy as possible for developers to make their applications available.
Android Market will be available in a Beta version on the first Android powered handsets. This will initially probably support free applications but then as things progress paid content will become available.
The idea of a market place rather than a store turns Android Market into a kind of You Tube like shop. You could say a You Tube iTunes morph. I think we are now seeing why Android has a good chance of succeeding. If this system works as well as it’s potential it could be a big hit for developers and consumers.
