Android users and bloggers are encouraging their fellow smartphone owners to take the “Paid App Pledge.” Those who sign the pledge promise to spend $5 per week on paid Android apps and to spread the word on Twitter.
The movement began when a blogger calculated that the Android Market has paid out a total of $21,000,000 to developers. While that may seem like a lot, it’s just 0.02 percent of the total payout for iPhone developers. Supporters hope that increasing the number of paid Android apps sold will increase developer interest in the OS.
