That's interesting! I didn't realize Android Market was not yet open to all the developers. It sounds like October 27 may be bonanza day! Thanks!

nice... Now we just have to figure out a way to load the apps on our micro sd card. I'm already running low on my internal memory.

I'm a bit disheartened by the 70% revenue part. I just feel that it gives a lot to people who aren't doing any work on the apps. 10% would (in my naive worldview) easily pay for maintenance, especially if you have many people buying applications.

The post indicates that google is only charging a one time $25 fee, the developer gets 70% while 30% goes to carriers and billing settlement fees. Seems pretty reasonable to me unless I'm reading it wrong.
