this is already in another thread.

Sorry I searched and didn't see any thread linking the article stating the market will allow for paid apps by the end of the week. Do you have a link?
Thanks.

There's an unanswered post on the Android-Discuss Google Group. More than likely someone is taking the "mid-Q1 2009" date literally, as the first quarter's midpoint is this Friday. Having heard nothing about Google offering paid applications in the market and being a registered developer with Google, and having a lack of an official response to the question in a Google-supplied group, survey says... "no".

Thanks for the merge!

I have sent an email to the market support 1 month ago

never heard from them..

that sucks...

here was my original post:

Robin:
Is Google going to provide any information to the developers about the people who buy their apps
(ex: email, phone ID, etc), maybe they call a web page(developer site) after a user buys an app and supply the deviceID

This will be nice since the apps can use such information to prevent piracy ....

ex: a user buys an app from the market. Google sends the developer their device ID

App developer has Database for legit users (using information above), and app gets authenticated bases on that...

otherwise limiting piracy would be very hard

another thing they can do is provide an API that will tell if the user installed the app from the market or from anywhere else, this will prevent piracy, as the App will stop if it wasn't installed from the market.

any ideas ..

I don't think so.
