Top Paid Games on the Android Market: Arcade and Action

1. Robo Defense
2. Armored Strike Online
3. GameBoid (Gameboy emulator)
4. SnesNoid (SNES Emulator)
5. HomeRun Battle 3D
6. Fishin 2 Go
7. Radiant
8. SpeedX 3D
9. Nesoid (NES Emulator)
10. Baseball Superstars

In the top 10 not *one* major developer and 3 emulators that you still
have to dig up ROMs to make them usable.

Where is Capcom? Atari? ID? EA? Zynga? Sega? Has there been any
company that spent over $100,000 on an app for Android? $10,000?
Where are the venture capitalists looking to fund Android development?

games *are* apps. you don't get to define the problem away. they're
also a substantial profit center.
