Publishing applications to the Android Market
Register using a Google account ($25 fee) Upload the application whenever you want, as many times as
you want, and then publish it when ready. Once published, users can browse to the application,
download it and rate it. Unlike Apple's App Store, Google's Android Market doesn't
have any approval process for applications. After registration, developers can offer their applications in
the store without any further validation or approval, Apple’s approval can take a month or more.
