06 Aug 10 Nexus One is now Android Dev Phone
The Nexus One online store has since closed but rumour mills that has mentioned that the Nexus One will be sold in store still remained as, rumour.
The Nexus One is now in the league of Android Developer phones, sold to Android Developers who has an account with the Android platform to distribute their apps.
The Nexus One, priced at $529.00 USD, is now sold beside the Android Dev Phone 2 (which is also the G2 or the HTC Magic).
(Don’t be surprised if you can’t find it, you need to be registered as a developer with USD 25.00 Android Developer Registration Fee via Google Checkout.)
I’m not sure how many Nexus One would be sold as the Android Dev Phone, as Android developers who are REALLY excited with Android might have already gotten the Nexus One in one way or another.
Still, it’s good to know that the stocks are left for developers.
Note that the Nexus One is unlocked (carrier independent) and will recognize SIM cards from any mobile service provider using the GSM standard.
This Android Dev Phone is available only for purchase in the approved markets (Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Singapore, Spain, United Kingdom, and the United States) and limited to 10 phones per transaction..

16 Feb 10 Submitting your app to Android Market
My first Android app (which is not an experiment) was released recently – The Star Online for Android v1.0.1.
It was also available from Android Market and it is quite easy to submit your application to the market.
All you need to do is go to the Android Market for publishers and go through the steps.
The one most important thing is to have your Credit Card available for the USD 25.00 Android Developer Registration Fee via Google Checkout.
Click on the pictures on enlarge.
You will also be requested to submit your personal information, in order to track the actual developer just in case your application presents issue to users. I assume apps that have security vulnerabilities, scams or phishing apps. There shouldn’t be any issues if you’re building a good-to-go app. 
Once it’s done, the Publisher Home screens will list the apps you have submitted, with accompanying statistics like the number of downloads and active users.
Are you an Android developer? How do you promote your Android app on Android Market?
