Aaron La, the developer behind Advanced Task Manager, has opened his books and gives us some interesting insight into the Android Market, profitability and his own opinions of the market.We'll let Aaron break down the numbers for you, but some interesting points:
- The free version of ATM can bring in as much or more advertising revenue monthly than straight sales of its 99-cent counterpart.
- Aaron hasn't quit his day job, but an average of $10,000 a month is quite a lot of pocket change.
- Google Checkout and the Market app themselves are a couple of big anchors holding back Android. (And that's a sentiment certainly echoed by a whole lot of people).
- The 24-hour return policy isn't evil.
Give the entire blog post a read. It's a good one. [Aaronla.com via @romainguy]
