Android Marketplace Officially Announced

Thu, 08/28/2008 - 13:01 | by hobbs

Google has officially announced the much anticipated Android Marketplace. Initially the marketplace will only be for free applications, and then a post launch update will turn on the ability to charge for the applications "and more features such as versioning, multiple device profile support, analytics, etc.". The Android Marketplace, unlike Apple's App Store, will allow any developer to post any application. There is no approval process or certification required. That's what we like to hear!

Here is more from Google's Eric Chu:

Similar to YouTube, content can debut in the marketplace after only three simple steps: register as a merchant, upload and describe your content and publish it. We also intend to provide developers with a useful dashboard and analytics to help drive their business and ultimately improve their offerings.

NOD KEVIN | Wed, 04/27/2011 - 03:53.

The beauty of these blogging engines and CMS platforms is the lack of limitations and ease of manipulation that allows developers to implement rich content and 'skin' the site in such a way that with very little effort one would never notice what it is making the site tick all without limiting content and effectiveness.

As mobile devices continue to take a central role in our daily activities, a growing portion of the modern workforce is expecting employers to integrate smartphones and tablets into the IT infrastructure. Some even bring their personal devices to work and expect the organization to support the features and capabilities these devices have to offer. To capitalize on this trend, companies must find ways to quickly and securely channel their back-end services to this growing mix of mobile devices, each requiring a unique set of skills and development tools to master.
