Krueger student publishes first paid app to Android Market Tweet

This year at Krueger Middle School, students in Josh Beck's advanced programming class have been learning to develop applications for the Android mobile platform.

Student Christian Cruz (shown right) is the first student to publish an application to the marketplace, charging 99 cents per download. He published his application, which is an animated wallpaper, on Tuesday, Apr. 13. Within the first week, he generated more than $50 in sales.

This week Google announced that it is seeing 60,000 new Android phone activations every day. Over the next year, it is expected that there will be between 15-20 million new Android users.
