Android expanding around the world Tweet

According to Google, the Android Market is on its way to 18 more
countries--including Brazil, India, Mexico, Russia, and
Sweden--bringing the total to 32 countries. Google said that
developers who have already made their applications available to "All
Locations" will not need to change that status for their programs to
be available to the new customers.

Android Market users will likely also find more apps in the store,
thanks to Google's decision to allow developers in 20 more countries
to sell paid apps in the marketplace, raising the figure to 29 nations
altogether. The company said developers in Canada, Switzerland, and
Taiwan are among those who can now sell apps.

Developers can start selling apps on the Android Market immediately.
Customers looking to buy apps in the new countries can start doing so
"over the next two weeks," Google said. Android Market it's going to
additional countries in the coming months.
