I simply cannot understand Google sometimes. The find my phone feature should be standard across all Android versions and free to everyone, paid developers or run of the mill users. It's shameful that WP7 and iOS have these available to everyone.

Like many of others in this forum, I like to try the latest software. One issue I encountered recently is that Android Market is a closed software only available on Google-branded phones.
One idea I got is to create a portal for free android apps. The goal of the portal is to let app developers to make their Android apps available to users who don't have access to Android Market, such as developer phone users, third-party devices that don't have Google experience, and in certain countries that do not have access to Android market.
The portal should be simple enough to start, let app developers publish apps, tag them, or post a link to the apk file. Users can use Android browser to download the apk and install it as apps from unknown sources.
http://www.slideme.org is that exact thing
very nice idea, but done already, A for effort though!

Hi I'm new to XDA, and I've been pondering these questions for a while now especially after Android 4.4/KitKat was officially announced. But regarding Google's new policies about the Play Store and the Android platform how is going to impact developers particularly indie and small developers? From what I understand Google's going to lock in pretty much all developers to the app store, is this true that Google will close developers account if they upload apps to another app store like Amazon for example?
By the way is Google also going to retire the Android Package installer tool and replace it with the Google verify and install tool?
Also I'm a bit concern about any devices updating to Android KitKat because supposedly Android KitKat will no longer allow manufacturers to install third party firmware mods as well as a lack of support for SD card storage. Although I can understand restricting the manufacturer firmware modifications such as UI mods, which more often then not regardless of the OS leads to fragmentation bugs and that's definitely not a good thing.:laugh: Now if its true Google's going to restrict driver support for SD storage then I'm very disappointed with Google. I mean come on it's way too early for them to ditch SD all together, well at the very most once the standard ROM size is at least 32-64 GB in size. And after all as Android advances so does the .apk file size for certain high end apps such as games will continue increase overtime.
Note: This discussion was first published at Cygnet.
Enterprises building apps for internal use, smart businesses trying to make a killing with consumer-facing apps, and entrepreneurs with ideas for innovative apps are driving the demand for mobile app development.
While few apps run on single platform, majority of them must work on at least the three big operating systems: iOS, Android or Windows.
This open ups the debate on what is the best approach to develop an App that works well with all the major platforms and devices.
