Android Market is an open content distribution system that will help end users find, purchase, download and install various types of content on their Android-powered devices. Developers will be able to make their content available on an open service hosted by Google that features a feedback and rating system similar to YouTube. Content can debut in the marketplace after only three simple steps: register as a merchant, upload and describe your content and publish it. We can expect the first handsets to be enabled with a beta version of Android Market. Some decisions are still being made, but at a minimum you can expect support for free (unpaid) applications. Soon after launch an update will be provided that supports download of paid content and more features such as versioning, multiple device profile support, analytics, etc.

HTC’s Android-based Dream phone may not support push-based work mail or ship as soon as expected, according to electronista.com. The device only supports push e-mail through Google’s own Gmail service and that support for Microsoft’s Exchange service isn’t known at the moment.

The phone may take advantage of Google’s dominance of web advertising to lower the cost of the device; those who volunteer to allow ads on their phone may see discounts either on the initial cost of the device or for their monthly subscription fees. These customers will see ads that are based not only on interests revealed through apps but also through the phone’s location. They also suggest the handset may not be available until near the Thanksgiving in November.
