Google to add more payment options to the Android Market
Share:
To get things moving in the right direction, Google has made one change in the Agreement and has added a new section. Section 13.1 has been changed so that "authorized carriers" have been added as an indemnified party.This is a big clue telling us what the Mountain View based company has in mind. They also added Section 13.2 , which covers indemnity for payment processors for claims related to tax accrual. All very bland legalese to be sure, but for those who would rather pay for app purchases through their carrier instead of using Google Checkout, these are two very good changes. Both the change and the addition take place in 30 days, so we would expect to hear some official word from Google about new payment options for the Android Market sometime late in August.

lol, very true. the only thing that prevents that now is the credit card thing. once carriers allow this they better allow parental controls to stop it or at least set a monthly limit on it to control it.

From when i had the iphone, no. But i doubt it still. the ipad and ipod touch work the exact same. You have an apple account and it charges you from a credit or debit card. Since ipad and ipod touch don't require contracts or service from phone carriers, there is no monthly bill.

with the Iphone, any purchases made on itunes gets billed to your itunes account...and that will not change - never has and never will...

It's a smart plan for google. Some people get really scared to use their credit card, witch is understandable. And this way it's feels more safe and people might buy even more apps.

How about they give people a website like Nokia's Ovi Store so we can see what applications are available before we buy an Android phone?

I wouldn't mind seeing a gift card option ala iTunes. I don't want to connect my iTunes account to a credit card, so I buy gift cards when needed. Of course it helps when I have a drug store, an Apple Store and two grocery stores within a half mile to a mile radius.
