A prelude to what was to come next year with the Google Play Store name and design change. Moving from 2010 to 2011 was a huge change for the store. Users will be able to rent movies for $ 1.99. In July, it was reported that users of Android smartphones completed over 1 billion downloads of applications stored on the Android Market. This is followed by the opening of the Google Music site and support for books and movie rentals in the US Android Market. The service for the sale of e-books - Google eBookstore was opened. Android Market contained several dozen programs, and all of them were free (there was no possibility of purchasing applications at that time).
At the end of July 2010, 100 thousand apps were available in the store. 2010-2011Īpplications had to be searched only through the category filter and nothing else.
By the end of the year, this opportunity was given to developers in most countries of the world.
The main condition was to split the profit of 70 by 30 in favor of the developer, with 30% going to services and maintenance, and Google not to receive any profit from the sale of applications.Īndroid Market is starting to accept paid apps, but only from US and UK developers.
