In-app billing hits Android next week, developer testing starts now

mobile

Google announced on Friday that it will launch in-app billing for the Android Market next week. In-app billing will allow users to purchase more content directly within an-app — sort of like when you drop your entire allowance to buy more berries in Smurf’s Village on the iPhone. Google also said that developers can now begin testing in-app billing by uploading apps to the Developer Console, and developers can also create catalogs of in-app purchases, set prices, and then test the actual transaction process. Hit the jump to read more directly from Google’s Android Developers blog.

    BEYOND OVERDUE

    EX: Anyone who has played Home Run Derby 3D on the Android platform. The iPhone version is far superior because you can buy custom suits and bats/items in game.

    SO…if you’re playing against an iPhone user online, they could have a HUGE advantage over you!
