Paid applications will come to some Google Android Market segments by mid January according to an email sent out to Android Market developers by Google Android Market manager Eric Chu.
Furthermore, according to said email, the Android Market will be adding new European countries this month, and Chu urges developers to take advantage of a new country targeting feature which allows developers to hand pick markets for their apps.
Paid apps will however not sync across all markets, the mid January launch will cover the United States and the United Kingdom and followed by Germany, Austria, The Netherlands, France, Italy and Spain.
