As an Android developer, I love this trend. It's amazing to be able to reach such a large and growing audience in the mobile world without having to live inside Apple's ecosystem. It's also exciting that the high-end Android phones out now are increasingly awesome. I hope this translates into an increase in paid apps' success, given that more users with more money seem to be using Android.

I'm not selling yet, no. I've released one app in the market (pressureNET, a crowdsourced barometer network for tablets) that I'm looking to monetize over the next few months and I'm hoping selling weather prediction apps will be possible :)

I'm still in the very early stages of the free app, though, so there's lots of room and little data from my end on selling paid apps.
