The Wall Street Journal recently published an article on the future strategy of Microsoft's cellphone development in which they revealed in the closing paragraph that Google are poised to launch their paid app market later this week.


Google, too, hosts an application store, dubbed the Android Market, for phones running its Android mobile operating system, the first of which is the G1 from Deutsche Telekom AG's T-Mobile USA. This week Google will start allowing developers to charge for software sold through the Android Market, according to people familiar with the matter.

Given the recent RC 33 Android updates that add improved functionality to the Android Market, and more importantly remove the 'beta' terms - this claim doesn't seem so far fetched.

My only hiccup is that we will lose the programs and be charged to get them back. Also my biggest roadblock that I see is that I haven't seen many apps that are worth paying for. Some of the best ones have soo many glitches it isn't funny. And the ones that aren't I am not willing to pay for(I lover bartender, but if I have to pay for it, idk how much I will love it anymore). Just food for thought....
