When will Google Android marketplace be available?

How does Android Marketplace earn revenue, for Google or carriers?

  • Obviously Google makes $ from AdMob ads in-app, but does Google or carriers take a cut of paid apps? Do they take a cut of in-app purchases?

  • Answer:

    Google takes a tiny slice of the pie (~5%).  70% of the revenue goes to the developer (as with Apple), and a significant chunk (25%) to the carrier.  The revenue from in-app purchases is also similarly split.
