Any Android developer would agree that there is only one major flaw with Google’s current developer console – it’s lacking ability to give developers a snapshot of their application’s performance. Whilst some statistics are available to developers, there are no short reports available to view; instead you have to go through a long process to receive a minimal amount of statistics.
Cloud.TV have been working behind the scenes to develop an application that’s capable of providing statistics of any application on the Play Store. The application is still in beta, so there’s still a few issues that need sorting out – but from what I can see App Stats is a very promising app.

Every time you purchase an app from Google Play, Google sends your email address, your suburb, and in many cases your full name to the app’s developer.

Amazon has today announced that its in-app purchasing service, which is already available on the company’s Kindle Fire tablet and other Android devices, is coming to Mac, PC, and web games. This will allow developers to take advantage of Amazon’s service on those platforms to provide their customers with a new way to purchase additional content using their credit card or virtual Amazon currency.
