Consumers from 99 new countries will be able to purchase apps from Android Market. This latest expansion of Android Market means more applications -- including games, social, and productivity apps -- for consumers.
The number of countries where Android users can purchase priced apps will increase to 131 including the addition of Thailand and neighbouring markets in Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam. Consumers from these newly supported countries will now have access to over 200,000 free and paid apps in Android Market, which they can access directly from their Android-powered device. Apps will be priced in US Dollars, and can be bought through Google Checkout, which supports local Mastercard and Visa credit cards.
