"I am rich" App appears on Android Market

Posted by TK on Tuesday, February 24, 2009, In : Apps 
I am rich
I guess it was only a matter of time before someone put one of these great apps on the Android Market. Just like the old iPhone app, this app basically just shows a "mesmerizing" glowing crystal (and has no functional value at all).

Apple banned Armin Heinrich's "I Am Rich", which cost $1,000 and only showed a red ruby, from its App Store last August. Now the conceptually similar "I Am Richer" has arrived on the Android Market from Mike DG.This version however, can be yours for only $200 (whic...

Android Market Announces Policies and Guidelines

Posted by TK on Thursday, February 19, 2009, In : Apps 

No kids allowed. One of the new guidelines established by Google for the Market is that you must be 13 years or older. I doubt that there’s going to be much of a problem with that. Most of the people we know using a G1 are considerably older than that.

Speaking of children, Google has zero-tolerance policy for child pornography. They also won’t allow sexually explicit apps or programs with nudity. For that kind of stuff, you’ll have to get it from somewhere else.

Google has informed developers for the Android Market -- the storefront for Android-based applications -- that they will be able to create applications that require payment. Up until now, all the applications available in the Android Market have been free. This has prevented some developers from creating applications for the Android platform. With the arrival of paid applications, slated for some time in the first quarter, more developers may be motivated to create applications for Google's m...
