Announced this morning on the Android Developer’s Blog, the Market is now accepting submissions for paid apps. This means we’ll be seeing higher quality apps coming, as well as more commercial-oriented apps. And hopefully all those cool apps that we saw before Android was released, such as the retina scanner. Google has taken a similar approach to Apple with regards to paid apps by keeping 30% of the selling price, which is still a good deal for developers.
There is no immediate word on how applications will be paid for, but it’s a safe bet that Google Checkout will be the primary, if only, source of payment. End users should be seeing the apps by mid-week next week.
