No, actual piracy of software. In Asia, piracy rates are estimated to be over 97%. They are using apps they didn't pay for. Nobody buys software, they pirate it.

All of the Android users I know and talk to personally and on dev forums utilize the abundance of free apps legally in the market. The greater majority of these use admobs for revenue which is fine as its small and not intrusive.

Asia is like that with EVERY product, not just Android, so its really not saying much.

Whatever the case, people are reluctant to buy software on android, which can be a problem. From what I've researched, piracy is a huge issue on Android.



Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.
