Do they compensate the devs , Lets say someone sells a game for $/£ 5.00 and they sell it cheap , surely thats a bit unfair to the dev as they are not guaranteed to make a profit like that ( the dev , not Google obviously as they will recuperate the sales).
Google had a similar sale last year. Lots of apps for 25 cents.
I wonder too.. there should be a ToS hidden somewhere in Play Store :S
Not sure if Google pays devs their original value, but there's an excuse not to bail either since.... their apps will get a boost in "Top Paid Apps" ^^

the discount only applied for top apps, and since those are paid apps, they are already on the top paid apps list, so the boost in top paid apps means nothing, I think Google subsidies them.
I bought a couple of those. Smart tools and Sketchbook pro. Not bad for fifty four cents.
I always buy something during the sales.

HERE you can find my auction for a brand new in box T-mobile Ameo.
As it states it's brand new in box so is locked to t-mobile.
I am willing to unlock it if that is something the winning bidder would be interested in.

Just out of curiosity, why are you selling it?

Long story but...
I have a wizard (for tinkering), a Kaiser (for day to day use) and the ameo for on the go media etc.
I don't really use the ameo that often and it therefore spends quite a lot of its time in my bedside drawer.
Anyway i had the misfortune of losing it on the way to work a week or so ago and have received the new one as a replacement.
Thought i'd take the opportunity to recoup some money (and maybe buy a meizu)
Thats odd, I've been searching Ebay for 4 weeks now. Thought I had every athena/advantage/ameo/x7500/u1000 in my watch list but for some reason I didn't have that one.
Anyway I just won one 2hrs ago for £300 so looks like your auctions going well.
went pretty good in the end. got 360 english.
Man I've been looking for one of those for a while. It's either that or the Shift for me right now.

you did well there. the value of ameo/athenas is plummeting so if you're not using one now's the time to sell. luckily there are still some wallies setting 500 quid buy it nows on ebay so by power of contrast its helping us more grounded individuals get a better price.
The ones on there for £400 buy it now just don't seem to sell

It's probably because there's better stuff out there for less now. It's not as high tech as it was at the start of last year which was the one and only reason for having it.
I wouldn't pay 400 quid for any pocket pc nowadays as it seems that no matter how powerful a new device might be will never get over the barrier of being a windows mobile device. i like my internet and windows mobile just doesnt cut the mustard these days, so im not as taken to the platform as once i was.
Under most popular apps, #6 is an app that monitors your service time if you're a Jehova's Witness. Really?

I agree...horrible organization and what not, if theres one thing that makes the iPhone what it is..it's the ease of the app store and the number of apps, not to mention there quality apps. One of the few things Google could learn from Apple.
Lmao, I had to check for myself, and sure enough.. It was there lol. I guess a lot of jehovas use Android.
I had to check.....
You would think Google would have some kind of relevant idea of how to properly organize, sort, and search data. I think might be cool for them to move into that field of research. What? That is Google's business?
on a serious note.. wtf is up with the market anyways, very poor features.. why cant we search by downloads number? rating? seems like basic functionality requirements of a marketplace to me.
sigh..
I believe that the best seller apps update or are reset once a month or once a week. That's the only explanation I have.
Is there somewhere to make an official request for a market filter (blacklist)? I would love to be able to blacklist publishers so they don't show in my search or any listing in the market. Genwi comes to mind as a garbage publisher that needs blacklisted.
Also, do "test" apps have to show up in the main Market? Really?? Come on.... Maybe devs should have their own sandbox market to play with.
That'll be great
What a joke, now that Jehova's Witness crap is #4. Is that organization paying Google or is the Market organization just ****ing retarded? I know that's not the 4th best selling app.
I love my nexus, but the whole market/app thing seems to be way over googles heads.
I sure hope we're not waiting for Froyo to get a better market.

As someone who has the misfortune of owning one of these turds, I'm going to say that this is possibly the worst consumer product of any type I've ever owned. Seriously, if anyone is thinking about buying one, I'd send you mine for cost of doing to free up space in my junk drawer.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
EDIT: For anyone thinking about taking me up on the offer -- it's already spoken for, sorry! But really all you're missing out on is disappointment!
That watch is crap just like those that promote it with youtube videos or comments around amazon and forums like this one.

Mine works great. The latest LiveView software has made a huge improvement in connection reliability.
the bigger question, can it run cm?
i might look into buying one just for teh giggles of having an android powered watch
edit: seems like everywhere has it for around 25 bucks
edit2: seems there is a reason, this thing is a hunk of crap and the better version 2 is 150 bucks, same as the motoactv

Just because you work at Samsung, doesn't mean you have a Samsung device. So I'm sure it's real.

Hmm, I'm sure it's bad if they are tweeting from a competitor's device for their own media messages?
Please have some sense...
You are right, maybe not all Samsung employee's have a Samsung device, but as a company procedure social media should be done from Samsung devices?
If this is true then what the people at Samsung are telling us is that " hey we are selling you crap we don't consider is better than an Iphone ".
The S3 wasn't released on May 3rd right?
The bad thing is I remember looking at this very tweet and didn't even notice
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
A right **** up there, bit like the footballer Ozil from Real Madrid whom Nike filed a lawsuit against after he was seen play some games wearing Adidas boots, this may not be quite as serious but given that this the official Samsung twitter (shi*ter more like)
and whoever posted this done so from an iPod or iPhone (it says both) it doesn't look very good at all.
I bet whoever did that either:
a) was not from Samsung, but from a PR firm hired by Samsung to handle social medias, such as Twitter, FB, G+, etc
b) does not work for Samsung ANYMORE!
I bet my coins on option (a) above since it has been very common for large corporations to hire firms specialized in digital medias to handle their PR. Such firms not only have control of the social media profiles, but they also create a lot of hype and buzz using fake or unsuspicious profiles and blogs.
I have dated a girl that worked in a firm like that... once I completely understood what she does I couldn't respect her anymore, so I ditched in 3.2 seconds.
It's funny! Apple puncture.
maybe dirty marketing strategies
LOL hahaha
At launch, Nothing advertised the Nothing Phone (1) as being capable of reaching 1,200 nits when viewing HDR content. Considering the smartphone's price, this would have been an impressive feature, if it were true. Instead, Nothing has subsequently changed its advertising, following the publication of numerous reviews quoting this incorrect peak brightness value.
However, under no circumstances did the Nothing Phone (1) achieve its advertised 1,200 nits. Subsequently, Nothing has altered the specifications of the Phone (1) on its website, reducing its peak brightness value to 700 nits. Thankfully, Web Archive holds snapshots of Nothing's website with the original display specifications of the Phone (1). Incidentally, Nothing has not publicly commented on the matter, nor are we aware that it has informed early adopters of the device's actual peak brightness.

It's getting to be a lot.
Is there some happy customers with this one ? I am waiting because of indeterminate delays of my order and I am getting anxious
Not really quietly, though. (Use Google Translate)
And they're considering a firmware update to unlock 1200nits. (Again, use Google Translate)
