Handango filling in for Android Marketplace?
Handango to Offer Paid Apps for Android I’m not sure what is more interesting — the fact that the Android Marketplace won’t offer paid apps to start with, or that Handango is trying to step in and take that role.

Oct 18th
You're so wrong. The kill switch is a good idea.
Why the Kill Switch Make Sense for Android, and Not for iPhone Fail.  Seriously.  You’re wrong. The kill switch makes sense for any mobile platform. It’s probably even being required by the carriers, since they are the ones so up-in-arms about what is being pushed across their network. What happens if an application turns out to be malicious?
