14 DAY TRIAL // The Android Market is about to expand the availability of paid applications to more users around the world, living in more countries than those where the solutions are already available.
Google already announced these move to developers of Android mobile applications, and said that support for more countries is expected to become available within a matter of weeks.
At the moment, only Android users in a number of 14 markets around the world are able to purchase applications from the software portal, but things are about to change fast.
“We’re writing to inform you about some changes to Android Market that require your attention,” an email sent by Google to Android developers reportedly stated (via Android and Me).
“Over the next few weeks, we’ll be adding paid apps support for additional countries. If you have selected to publish your paid apps to all locations and intend to support all new locations as we expand the number of supported countries for paid apps, you don’t have to do anything,” the said email continued.
However, in case there are some developers that would like to have their software solutions available only in specific markets, whey can set locations where the apps will be released.
“If you have selected to publish your paid apps to all locations but intend to only target the currently supported 14 countries, please update your location selections to target these specific countries,” the email reads.
According to Google, it plans on delivering further announcements regarding the availability of paid apps support for more countries.
“Please look for follow-up emails when we introduce paid apps support for specific additional countries in the coming weeks. At that time, you’ll have the option to target these specific countries. Thanks, and we look forward to continue working with you on Android,” the message ended.
Unfortunately, Google did not announce specific details on which countries will get paid apps in the Android Market, though things might become official pretty soon.
