Android Market: Why Only 13 Countries for Paid Apps?

John Gruber:

The cynical view: Google prefers free Android apps over paid ones, because free apps try to make money through ads, and Google serves nearly all the in-app ads for Android apps.

Never thought of it this way, but makes some sense considering in 2 years they’ve extended the market only by 2 at most 3 countries.
