What do you think about this?
It would be nice if the monkey supported bada(tizen?).

Nice idea ...

Would be nicer if Samsung Apps supported paid apps for US customers: currently US customers are only shown free apps.

It may be a good idea if you have an already good selling app.
I decided against this offer after reading this:
http://www.reiti.net/personal-blog/blog/102/samsung-app-store-maybe-no-option-for-devs

"Thing is, normally, they want a fee when you first submit an activation and they also want a fee to test your application. Andy they also want this fees for EVERY device-group (or device?) you submit your app."

E.A.(Chillingo) is behind this, the 100%, drops by 30% after the two years promo.

I can't think of a more nightmarish scenario than an app store controlled and run by E.A. TBH. :P
