SlideME has several key announcements:

Availability of the SlideME In-App-Payments (IAP) SDK
Developer Payouts in bitcoins
Mobile billing with many more payment methods to come
Users can earn virtual currency to pay for apps or purchase in-app-items

With the release of the SlideME IAP SDK, developers can monetize their freemium apps (i.e., free to download but include the option for users to purchase in-app-items) distributed via SlideME to the many Android Open Source Project (AOSP) based devices without Google Play Services. In-app purchases for users is seamless as they can continue to use our current or new payment options, including purchasing in-app items through their existing SlideME Wallet.

The sheer volume of non-Google Play enabled devices can no longer be ignored by app publishers as more device vendors are leveraging the AOSP, which does not include the closed-source apps and services like Google Play and Google Maps. Developers should have a distribution strategy for apps being distributed to these AOSP based devices .

Today at MWC, we’re seeing Nokia releasing the Nokia X device based on the AOSP, and therefore without Google Play. SlideME as of today is present on the Nokia X, and many other device manufacturers have preloaded SlideME as a respected alternative to Google Play.

ZeptoLab released Cut the Rope Experiments across a catalogue of different stores. The result? The game picked up more than 2.3 million downloads on SlideME..
