Android Market - Apple App Store Killer?

At the Android Market, the content developers will have freedom to make their content available openly unlike the Apple App Store.

Google's Android developer community has announced Android Market, a service similar to the Apple App Store. As per the post on Android Developers Blog, the Android Market is an open-content system that will help end-users search, purchase, download and install featured apps and other software directly to Android-based phones and devices. Initially, Android-based handsets will feature Android Market beta version service commercially.

Google will host the content from developers with rating and feedback system. At the Android Market, the content developers will have freedom to make their content available openly unlike the Apple App Store, which has monitored and controlled membership as well as posting. Apart from that, support for free applications would also be available. Only concern about the Android Market will be licensing, security and stability of the apps.

Android Market beta version will have free apps and also subsequent firmware update that will provision the phones for other paid versions in future.

The mobile operating system is really picking up now. After Apple App Store and Android Market, what next? Perhaps a similar service might be started by Symbian when it goes open-source, Microsoft for the Windows Mobile or Research In Motion.

Whenever Android-power handsets are available in India, developers and users will be able to enjoy the open environment of the Android Market.
