YAAM Android Market Means 100% Profit Share For Developers

Well what do you know, a fair deal for developers, could it be? It appears that a group of developers from XDA forums have created an Android Market alternative that allows creators of apps and games to grab 100% of the profit from their wares. In a move that seems nearly impossible without the backing of a major corporation, a few smalltime players have set themselves up for what might be a power move against the titans.

YAAM stands for Yet Another Android Market, a rather unassuming title for a project that could be such a big deal. The aesthetics of the market are just about as simple as they could be, the app itself works inside handsets, tablets, and even Google TV, and the whole business is centered around getting a fair deal for developers. Will it catch on? Only time and perhaps advertising will tell. Marketing is basically the biggest component in getting a project like this off the ground, as evidenced by Amazon's push with a free app every day.

This market is currently said to play host to 23,000 users and 400 applications, a drop in the bucket compared to Google and Amazon's markets, but impressive for a teeny tiny startup, if I do say so myself. And integration with PayPal – if they wanted to find a payment group that people trusted, they hit that right on the money. They've not got their orders completely set up enough for this writer to recommend everyone use it quite yet:

Paid applications are managed this way : You have a YAAM account, you send money on this account (via paypal, allopass, etc...), and you use this money into the application, to buy applications. In that way, you can easily manage your consommation...

We are surely going to create an enterprise, to manage this money legally !

But we're excited at the prospect!
