It’s official! Android apps will now be paid

This comes as music to the ears of the developers across the world who didn’t think that making applications for Android will be worth it. According to Martin Drashkov, he has received mail from the Android Market (read Google) that Android Market will expanding to many countries outside the U.S like Germany, Austria and other European and Asian countries.

Along with this, there is also the golden news that apps will finally start being paid. This is a smart move by Google since Apple clearly has the upper hand here. With hundreds of apps which utilise the uniqueness of iPhone/iPod Touch, Google was sure to be left behind. But now with the motivation of paid apps, lots of developers are surely going to start paying more attention towards Android.

Right now Android is only available on HTC’s G1, the Android-based phone from T-Mobile.
