    • How do I distribute my apps?

      Just upload them to the Android Market. There’s only one initial fee of $25 USD.

    • What percentage does Google take from my App sales?

    For applications that you choose to sell in Android Market, the transaction fee is equivalent to 30% of the application price. For example, if you sell your application at a price of $10.00, the fee will be $3.00, and you will receive $7.00 in payment. Taken from this link.
