As many have expected, Google plan to offer an iPhone-style online store that will allow Android developers to distribute applications on its open-source platform.
"It would be a great benefit to the Android community to provide a place where people can go to safely and securely download content and where a billing system would allow developers to get paid for their effort," he said. "We wouldn’t have done our job if we didn’t provide something that helps developers get distribution." - Android project leader Andy Rubin, speaking at the Google I/O last week.
