To be honest, I’d prefer to offer free apps, and then monetise either with ads or with something like Tapjoy (well worth checking out – it’s a great idea). My main problem will be figuring out what I can make app-wise that would actually be useful.

I’ll definitely keep an eye out for the walkthrough, and would be happy to be a test subject if you need one on Android.

I chose that route because Apple users are FAR more likely to pay for apps, whereas Android users expect everything to be free. I will be porting Evil Dice to Android, but only after its successful on iOS.

Yeah, Elle’s accent was perfect for the voice overs. Everyone who’s heard them is blown away by them! I’ll be posting a movie walkthrough of the app on Youtube soon, so keep an eye out if you’re interested.

Also, good look with your apps!

The main reason I’ve been looking to Android rather than iOS is the cost of entry though – I don’t have the money necessary to publish apps on iOS, even if I could teach myself how to build them.

I moved house last month, and am still waiting for the internet to be connected at the new place but once it’s up and running I will try to figure out Java.

Oh – good choice for the voice by the way – you can’t beat an Irish accent :-)

I decided the app needed a voice component, so I’ve added an irish voice actress which really improved the app. It put me a bit behind schedule, but was worth it. I’m going through final beta testing now and am hoping to submit by the middle of November. Thanks for taking an interest!

As far as making apps go, the Andoid submission process is a lot less tedious that Apple. If you haven’t learned iOS programming yet I’d suggest taking a look at Java so you can work with Droid. They are by far the fastest growing Smartphone.
