Hey everyone,
I am really concerned about windows marketplace. I suppose it will either help the community here by weeding out certain visitors, or it could lure all the good dev's from here with the promise of getting more than recognition for their work.
Anyone have an opinion?
It always hurts the first time.

opps my bad i should really proof read.
I wouldn't worry about it. If anything, it should be useful for the platform and, as such, will benefit us all. For people like myself who flash ROMs quite often Marketplace is useless as it doesn't leave the the cabs and I'll have to redownload stuff every time. For those users who can't spend 5 minutes googling it will be a blessing and therefore will grow the market for WM apps.
What does worry me a bit is not users migrating to MP, but developers.

LOL! I know, when I think about it, I wonder how I managed to post so much in a few months, but I go through a bunch of sections each night and it's only 4 posts a day average! I think it's due to the increase of juniors and the off the wall questions, and of course, the serious users looking for help/answers. The problem is as soon as I set everything up I want to change it, so then I'm back to another round of posting. Sigh.....I need a beer .
exactly. If you'll notice, i've expanded my tech support tyranny into the elf and artemis forums. I can't let you beat me now...!!

Doesn't anyone find it odd that we are paying out huge sums of cash for a Linux based OS that is free to use?
Because the cost of the handset doesn't factor into it at all :face palms:
I mean they handed us a broken toy and we fixed it for them with no pay and they sold it back to us as an update, now we are fixing it up more. Hopefully when Android 114.6 rolls out some devs. will for a union of some kind and make some cash from big business instead of settling for the 2.99 that their brothers and sisters are downloading.
Next time put the bong down and think before posting.
Here's your basic argument in another context:
The internet is free so why do we spend so much money on computers to browse web pages?
You fail. Thanks for playing.

But who is it that decides the devs have been screwed. Is it you? I think that honor goes to each individual who bought the phone. You don't get to determine that someone else has been screwed just because your panties are in a bunch over something related to your phone.
The cost of a non open source operating system on a phone is going to be so heavily subsidized, I'd be surprised if the additional cost was more than a couple of dollars/pounds/whatever. Bottom line is that you're just paying for the device whichever route you take.
Also consider how long android has been out, it is definitely the quickest maturing mobile platform around. Anyone remember the state wm was in at this age?
Edit: I think the developers would rather be "screwed" as you put it in order to bring about progress in a timely manner. That's what open source is all about!

First off, that's a toaster I want.
Second off, you're absolutely right. It's not about the money, it's about taking your phone to the next level and being able to say you were the one who got it there first. I and thousands of others have nothing but respect for these developers and a lot of us give them both props and donations for their work. I'm sure the donations are nice, but I doubt there are many devs on XDA who started writing ROMs and compiling kernels because they thought it would make them rich.
Don't understate the motivational power of random people coming into your thread to say "Your work is awesome, keep it up, and how cool would it be if it did this too?" For some people the respect is all they need, since genuine respect can't be bought, it can only be earned.

Id rather have 1000's of people thanking me for my work than a few £100 in the bank if i was a dev....

But good luck anyway, I wouldn't sign up for a site like that, seems to easy, if it's too good to be true, it usually is.
what makes it not too good to be true is the hassle of having to get others to buy into the idea, and actually doing offers, it's all advertising. for sites like intuit, gamefly etc.
but i do understand not wanting to deal with it.

Hi guys! If you remember, my app Screenshot ER was the first to work on honeycomb. If not, its in the signature.
Could all you lucky champs with 3.2 let me know if its still working please?
it works beautifully on 2.0.1 manta ray with kernel Tachi.
Still great job no matter what update for OS comes around
Cool. Are you using SER or SER 2?
1.0.8 that is
need root for this?
edit: never mind, just read your sig.
Yep... needs root. But if youre on this forum, you should know that restoring your device to vanilla is just as easy as rooting!
Works fine on Tiamat 2.1 (3.2 base).
[sER2]
Ive just checked (finally) and it works fine! Dunno why people are sending me error reports...
doesn't matter, 3.2 on Tiamat has screen shot app built in
Yep - but it sucks... this is a real screenshot app with cool features!
I'll pass, good luck
Whats your problem buddy? You just clocking up a post count with all those opinions?
Must be - im a dev here with lots of current threads and Ive only managed 1700 in the same time as you. And of course i spent most of that time making cool apps. You it seems were just trolling around because noone listens to you in the real world. ..

Sorry to disappoint but I do pay for apps on both my EVO 3D and Xoom. You said your app would ALWAYS be free to XDA members but went back on your word, that was bad enough. Now you're here spamming the forum, thats disgraceful. On the 2nd page is your last thread that was closed on Aug 4th, now you opened another thread the very next day which offers nothing that could have gone in the other thread? Oh yeah, and there's another thread in the Android Paid Apps section which was also closed.
I support devs verbally and through my wallet, but your behavior is pretty distasteful. I'm not looking for a fight, nor am I slamming your app, but I think the way you do business may hurt you more than freeloaders. Another factor may be people realize there are free apps that suit them just as well and don't have to worry about buying an app only to find it pulled from the market for some unexplained reason and have to get the other pay version.
Think of this as constructive criticism.
