Get ready for Android to become a lot more popular with developers. In a move that may have several other interesting ramifications, as well, Android Market has finally made room for applications that aren't free.
Android Developers Blog states, "Google Checkout will serve as the payment and billing mechanism for Android Market. Developers who do not already have a Google Checkout merchant account can easily sign up for one via the publisher website."
And of course, this whole arrangement was announced not long after YouTube started charging for downloads of some videos.
So Google appears to be heading in more than a few directions with the introduction of priced Android apps. We'll keep an eye out to see how far the company gets.
