Yes, I was looking in the market today and saw one app for £1 (Tetroid or whatever it’s called) which I was able to buy using the (Mestro) debit card already on my oogle Checkout account.

But still, the vast majority of apps are in USD (probably just a side-effect of US devs, but as Froogloid said, why not convert?) and I can’t use Maestro to pay in USD for whatever reason.

SLIGHTLY less disappointed, but still generally so. I can’t buy most of the apps I’d like.

Not true – some prices are in GBP, I guess it depends on the developer. Also, I paid with a Visa Delta card (debit card) so it’s definitely possible.

Pip pip, tally ho from the UK.

@alex ….I find it odd that google market won’t convert currency either. I guess there’s just too much volatility.

Hrmm. Got my paid apps on this morning, but I need a CREDIT CARD to pay for them (I only have a UK debit card, which I’ve used very successfully many times before on Google Checkout).

And the prices are in USD!

Somewhat disappointing in my opinion.

@ Moscow – hahahhaha awesome correction. Whenever I’m working late at night and chatting with any of my friends from the UK I’ll always be like:

“I need a coffee, brb” and they say, “Me too, getting some tea”

I don’t know how I got that detail wrong. I LOLed. Thanks for the correction!
