Last week Google started spreading the word that a content rating system would go live for the Android Market shortly, and a Thanksgiving holiday later it is now ready to roll in the developer console. Nestled between copy protection and location settings is a rating system a la the ESRB letting a developer list an app as “Mature,” “Teen,” “Pre-Teen,” and “All.”
Sure, it still depends on the honesty of the developer and people’s ideas of what constitutes which rating will vary (especially when distinguishing between “Teen” and “Pre-Teen”), but Google has provided a set of guidelines that should make clear where an app should be designated. For instance, apps asking for location must be rated at least “Pre-Teen,” if the app publishes location data it must be rated at a minimum “Teen.” By estimation, this would make the latest Facebook update with Places support a “Teen” app, but I could be reading that wrong.
How strongly ratings are enforced and when they will make it to the Market front-end isn’t known just yet, but I’m sure we will be getting those answers in no time at all.

And news just in that the “All” option has now been disabled by the Android Market Team.
Hmm. I wonder why…
I’m guessing if apple had something similar, everything would be in the pre-teen and below category. :p
This is good for parents that want to turn on parental control on their kid’s phones.
But there’s still no adult option.
