That totally blows if it is true. With rc33 letting you know when there's updates to apps now, it would seem like the market is taking a step in the wrong direction as far as paid apps go. I guess this will bring atrackdog back to life.

3. Upgrades aren’t done through the Market.

The official policy states that any upgrades must be obtained directly from the Developer as the Market has “no upgrade functionality.” The use of the word ‘upgrade’ should mean that Google is not referring to version updates that address bugs, complaints, and new features.

I think "upgrades" is new app, except you check if the user has an older version of it before allowing the install.

Updates are just changes to an existing app.]]>Feb 18th 2009 3:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/18/android-market-allows-returns-but-not-sexy-stuff/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/18/android-market-allows-returns-but-not-sexy-stuff/Feb 18th 2009 11:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/18/android-market-allows-returns-but-not-sexy-stuff/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/18/android-market-allows-returns-but-not-sexy-stuff/

I forgot that to iPhone users it's a new concept that you can install apps from elsewhere than the iTunes store.

And yeah, afaik upgrades are defined as obtaining a new version (e.g. Office 2000 -> Office XP == Upgrade; Office XP -> Office XP SP1 == Update)]]>Feb 18th 2009 9:56PM
