Da oggi sono ufficialmente disponibili anche per gli utenti del Regno Unito le applicazioni a pagamento del Market, ecco un comunicato inviato da Google agli sviluppatori:

Hello,

I’m writing to let you know that priced apps are now available to users in
the UK. You can target your priced apps to UK users by selecting the “UK”
or “All Current and Future Countries with Payment” location options in the
publisher website at http://market.android.com/publish

. If you select
“All Current and Future Countries with Payment,” then your priced apps
will automatically appear to users in all countries where priced apps are
available. Please note that we have added selection options for Germany
and Austria in advance of priced apps becoming available in those markets.
Details on when users in Germany and Austria can see priced apps will be
forthcoming.

Also, I am pleased to let you know that free applications will become
available in France starting March 15th, when Orange launches the HTC
Dream. France will join the other countries where users currently can
download free applications: US, UK, Germany, Austria, Netherlands, Czech
Republic, Poland, Australia, and Singapore. You can make your free apps
available to French users by selecting “All Current and Future Locations”.
We will add the option to target France when we add the ability to add
French language listings in the publisher website, which we expect to be
complete by end of this month.

Thanks for your support, and we look forward to continue working with you
on Android Market.

Dal contenuto di questo comunicato si può evincere anche che a breve (anche se non sono specificate date certe) il Market a pagamento sarà disponibile anche in Austria e Germania, e che Orange lancerà il G1 in Francia il 15 marzo, dunque per allora sarà disponibile anche la loro lingua. Ormai siamo prossimi allo sbarco degli androidi in Italia!

Si ringrazia Maurizio Scorianz per la segnalazione
