I have to ask.. in the last year since I started learning Android (haven't had much time the past several months to do much other than read some of these emails), how many more markets has Google got Android into that offer apps to be purchased in, and more so, pay the developers in other countries? I am still baffled why Canada can't buy apps or developers there can't put their apps up for money...
So is Google moving beyond slow into these markets.. if so.. why? It seems crazy to me that with so much potential, and Apple in way more markets for both app sales and developers to write/earn money in, that google would take it so slow. I won't pretend to know the issues behind making it work.. but if Apple could do it already, I would think google would have very little trouble as well.
