The Google Android operating system Android market was broken for some time. Today, Google said that it will be solving some problems since long an update in the next two weeks.
A blog, Google Executive Eric Chu said that update will apply to all phones Android running version 1.6 of the software or greater. This means it goes out to the majority of devices on the market today. Changes will be go very far in the establishment of the Android market as legitimate a means of distribution. With it, developers must be able to build real businesses on Android.

Developers have asked for a large number of these changes for the month. Android is Google the equivalent of the Apple iTunes App Store. Trade remains stalled on the Android market, the Bank of APP sold billions of applications in the past two years.
One problem is that Google has enabled users to return full apps 24 hours after their purchase. That often means that users pay 99 cents for a game, play and then return to the time limit to return any money. Now, Google will reduce the window back up to 15 minutes. With this change, developers can be confident that when they make a sale on the Android market, they can be reasonably certain that it will be as a sale.
Google has made to ensure that every owner of good platform should be: make it easier for users to discover cool titles and buy. In the past, promoted apps would appear at the top of the screen on the market and change a few seconds. Now they will be presented in a way that highlights the most attractive way. A single window pane will show the details of the application, and there will be a content rating system where users can discuss apps. Applications of the highest rating will be probably visible on a ratings chart.
Applications can also be easily targeted phones with different screen sizes. An application can be targeted for a 4 inch screen, for example, or for phones with better graphics processing capabilities or larger size memory. On the whole, the maximum size of an application are now 50 megabytes instead of 25 megabytes. This will enable richer applications.
The Android market will also have separate categories for live widgets and applications of wallpaper. There is still no web version of the Android market. But improvements go far towards improving e-commerce on Android. In China, for example, some 20 carriers have created their own markets on their phones because the Android market was so low.
No exact date has been set for the deployment of the new market. If Google truly resolves market Android, Apple had better be suspicious. The weakness of the Android market has been one of the major problems which held developers to make money on Android. If Android becomes more attractive for developers, Apple short the risk of losing his advantage with users because of its better content.
