Recently, Google removed a few developers and their published apps from the app market. These apps were removed without warning by Google at the will of the developer, but most importantly, the costumer. Thousands of costumers who had purchased these apps, were disappointed to find that the app they spent $6 on to play their favorite games, vanished off of their mobile devices. Apparently, the emulator apps violated copyright of Sony. Google removed these apps without warning.
The real question is "What is the point of an open market if apps will be removed at the snap of Google's fingers?" "Will this lead to a requirement of a long waiting approval process that Apple developers flocked to Android to escape from?" There is one thing that no developer wants to see, and that is a limited market with a bunch of restrictions to the APKs and their content. Lets just hope this was a hiccup on Android's part, issued from the complaints on Sony's behalf.
