Today I’m happy to share early details of Android Market—an open content distribution system that will help end users find, purchase, download and install various types of content on their Android-powered devices. The concept is simple: leverage Google’s expertise in infrastructure, search and relevance to connect users with content created by developers like you.

The Google Android mobile platform is nearing release, and today Google posted details about their upcoming version of the Apple AppStore: Android Market.
According to androidauthority.com the “Initial Android based devices will run a beta version of the Android Market that will only support free apps and will not provide full analytic data to developers. Support for paid application downloads, version management, and multiple device profiles will be added later.”
So, while it seems like Google has quite a long way to go before matching the simplicity of buying applications through the Apple AppStore on the iPhone, at least they have a start. Now where is the Microsoft appstore for my Windows Mobile devices?
