An article in the Wall Street Journal discussing the future strategy of Microsoft's cellphone development references the launch of paid applications in Google's Android Market. Slip up or is it possible we'll see paid apps this week?

This week Google will start allowing developers to charge for software sold through the Android Market, according to people familiar with the matter.
