Right. But currently there are some issues with in-app billing, so it still ends up being complicated. Carrier billing is not supported, and that can turn off some people, who don't like to use a credit card. Additionally, some people don't get upgrades, they call and say: 'I paid but the download doesn't start', even though you explained that there is no new app download. The upgrade implementation is fairly complex, so there are more places where things can break. I'm not saying don't use it, just saying that it is not necessarily easier/better than a traditional lite/pro model. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
