I agree with you 100%. I love Google and the company I work for has integrated its system with google apps. however, it is an application for small enterprises and the 20% cut for us would mean about $2,000 per year. That would not be in our interest as we would be way overpaying for marketing and billing, especially considering it is a recurring fee. This does not include hosting so it is difficult to see the value proposition in this if you’re an enterprise company. Maybe if we were only a $10-20 per month product.

Kurt

Imagine selling your product to Android users through the Android Market vs the general web. Same difference.

I can’t imagine any major enterprise software company agreeing to those terms in exchange for a simple listing and billing integration. Our firm uses App Engine, and I would consider a flat fee, but not 20% of revenues. I think this is only going to be for $10-$20 a month-type firms.

And it’s inspired me to create the next BIG THING:

software that can automatically vet and approve/reject all the apps submitted to all the app stores rather than having to use slow, costly human beings
