Coders get 70 percent of Android Market revenue

[nodramachicks]

Google officially opened its Android Market Wednesday and promised that beginning next year, programmers will get the lion's share of revenue from applications sold on the download site for the company's mobile phone operating system.

The first incarnation of the Android Market has more than 50 applications available for download, but they're all free. Google said the site will be able to distribute paid applications early in the first quarter of 2009..

More applications are on the way, and programmers will be able to add their own starting Monday in a process that reflects a much more hands-off approach than Apple has taken with its App Store for iPhone software. Programmers need to pay a $25 registration fee.
