Google is set to offer Android Market - its own App Store-like content distribution system for the Android mobile phone platform which will allow users to buy, download and install content for the upcoming Android devices. On a posting for the Android Developers Blog, Eric Chuh explained that developers will be able to make their applications available via the service, which will be hosted by Google.

"Similar to YouTube, content can debut in the marketplace after only three simple steps: register as a merchant, upload and describe your content and publish it," he said. "We also intend to provide developers with a useful dashboard and analytics to help drive their business and ultimately improve their offerings."

Great! I've been looking for a place to buy androids from. Do they have some of those Hospitality Hostesses left over from the Beijing Olympics? Those things are great, I'd love to get my hands on a couple of those.

I can't help but think of the trapper keeper from South Park that starts absorbing other computers until it becomes this massive skynet super computer like blog thing, whenever someone brings up the Google Android. Anyone else feel like that?
