Wow, Androids getting stricter, hopefully they don’t become like apple!

Anyways, now you can develop cross platform native apps with Titanium, all you have to know is HTML, CSS and Javascript, check it out:

Javacool Software, LLC, http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/ makes and application called EULAlyzer, which does what you expect, analyze EULA’s. (They also make SpywareBlaster.) Now a developer agreement isn’t an EULA, but it is similar enough that when I ran it thru the free version of EULAlyzer, it reported as follows:
<>
Most of the time, FOSS licenses and simple agreements almost never return anything at or above ‘elevated calculated interest’. Makes me wonder if I want to DL the official SDK…..

Al Sutton has done a pretty good analysis of what he sees as the changes here: http://groups.google.com/group/android-discuss/msg/d18f370d3ea6ca75

As he notes, he is not a lawyer so… Keep that in mind.

The old policy defined it at 48 hours, however its only 24 hours via the market. So, if you forget to refund via market you have another 24 hours from the developer.

This one says you must give refunds within 48 hours. Isn’t it currently 24 hours? It’s also not clear if it is changing the refund policy to 48 hours…or if it is just giving Google the option of changing it?

Personally am not really bothered by the new agreement.If developers don’t like the new agreement,there are alternative markets springing up left right and centre where they can publish there apps.

That’s the beauty of open source.

I didn’t really read the first one either cause I was so excited to publish my first app, hopefully there is some kind of loop hole here to allow google to boot developers like M STAR LLC from the marketplace.

Perhaps this has something to do with the soon-to-be new ability to put Android apps on your TMO bill…

Never said the openness was going completely up to the developer.. *sigh*
