Summary
Google would like more developers to support those devices, and its new scheme for this has a real shot at working since it relies on the universal language: money.Google's master plan is called the "Play Media Experience Program," and it offers a compelling proposition to developers: support more Android form factors, and Google will take a lower cut of your Play Store sales. The Media Experience Program page lists additional eligibility requirements, like: "Over 100,000 monthly active installs on Google Play" and "a strong Google Play rating." Developers interested in the program will need to fill out a form in order to be considered.Charging less money is definitely speaking a developer's language, so we can't imagine this won't result in some increased form-factor support.
