Google's Eric Chu has contacted Android Developers that new countries can now be targeted in Android Market. Though not all of these countries actually have Android-capable phones quite yet, when they finally do, they'll have a slew of apps to choose from.

What's currently unclear is what their exact plans for releasing Android in those markets are. We'll be on the lookout for more news on the European Front as it comes by.

Here's the full E-Mail, as delivered:

Hello, I'm writing to let you know that Android Market will become available to users in Germany, Austria, Czech Republic, Netherlands, and Poland in the coming weeks. You can now target these countries for your application(s) via the publisher website at market.android.com/publish. As we add support for additional countries, we will send out subsequent notifications to you.  Note that your apps will not become available in these new countries unless you specifically select them in the publisher website. Thanks for your support, and we look forward to continue working with you on Android Market. Eric Chu, Android Market

  • I want to present MultiReader an Android speech application. MultiReader converts document into voice (TTS : Text to Speech). You can listen PDF, Word, text, .... on your mobile phone. It is not a PDF reader (no nice graphics), MultiReader extract text out of documents and speak them. Version 0.7.1 : add Word document (*.doc) support. Version 0.7 : better voices from AT&T. Add French (FR,CA), German, several English accents (US,UK,IN), several Spanish accents (US,ES). Version 0.6.1 : we now have only 1 icon in the application folder (debug). Version 0.6 supports English, Spanish and Portugese languages. Male/Female voices.

  • Nice articles, but I am not clear about the point you mentioned about how to distinguish fake and real replica handbags.
