Updated the title and description, since it is a new set of apps each day for 10 days, not 10 apps for 10 days, as stated in the Android Dev Blog: http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2011/12/10-billion-an…
Thanks to the people who pointed it out!

This promo is to celebrate Android Market reaching 10 Billion of Downloads! All for just 10 cents each!

Remember to not purchase all the apps at one go. Keep at least a few minutes between each purchase to avoid having them pending / cancelled. If you are having such problem, just click refund in the Market app and purchase again!

I will update this post every day! For now:

Day 1:

Day 2:

Day 3:

Day 4:

Day 5

Day 6:

Day 7:

Day 8:

Day 9:

Frequently Asked Question

Q: It's the first time I made purchase on Android Market and I got charged $2 for "PENDING — GOOGLE CHECKOUT INTERNET"!!!

See "Authorisations" section on Google Checkout Help. This is normal for the first time purchasers, and you will get the amount back between 1-14 business days, depending on your bank.

    OP or Mods! Please update the title to read something to the extent "10 apps for $0.10 for the next 10 days to celebrate 10 billion app downloads"? It's more accurate and mentions that this freekin' awesome deal is going over the next 10 days. This will also ensure we don't have a fresh post tomorrow for the same bargain.

Nice, this lead me to buy for the first time! However, is it possible to buy multiple apps at the same time? Now it seems its charging 10 cents from my debit card on each app purchase.. Sucks! Or is there something i've missed?
- nanoronline on 07/12/2011 - 06:47
  
  No, unfortunately there is not a way to buy multiple apps at the same time. As this is also the first time Google is selling so many apps at such a low price!
  
  The reason is to celebrate the 10 billion downloads Android Market has achieved, I found out.

    Apps on the official Android Appstore will always update more promptly than those from the Amazon/Getjar catalogue and they're only 10c now, so I'd re-buy them even if you have them from one of these,
    - dealman on 07/12/2011 - 16:16
      
      I had the getjar one,
      but bought this one anyway, because this way I am sure of getting future updates to the app.
      
      10 cents is nothing for the app..

  If you have kids who play your android mobile/tablet, make sure you set up a pin for purchasing apps in the market. otherwise expect to have a shock bill especially if you installed some app with in app purchase. Some guys have hundreds dollars purchases in a day by their kids.

I got 7 out of 10. exceptions: soundhound, asphalt(already got it from my SGS2) and sketchbook
PS: I dont get the benefit of swiftkey, I am so used to swype and flex T9 that pressing every letter for typing is kinda boring.
- nanoronline on 07/12/2011 - 09:19
  
  Yeah I'm very used to Swype Beta but now, the Swype in the SGS 2 is the old version so I can only wait, while alternating between SwiftKey and TouchPal :S
  - AncientWisdom on 07/12/2011 - 12:53
    
    You can replace the Swype version on the SGS2 (I have), google it.
  - laser on 07/12/2011 - 13:28
    
    Agree, I don't get whats swift about swiftkey after using swype.
    - fatal on 07/12/2011 - 14:15
      
      Thats because you guys don't use dual languages. Swiftkey is good because I can type in English and another language with full dictionary at the same time without having to stop and switch languages.
    - CuteChocobo on 07/12/2011 - 14:46
      
      Unfortunately this 'other' language doesn't include Asian languages (Chinese, Japanese and Korean)… so touchkeys is still more international friendly!
      I've bought this and played around for a bit, the most interesting part about SwiftKey is the adaptive learning style based on how you type =)
    - AncientWisdom on 07/12/2011 - 16:50
      
      I actually do use dual languages, and although it is a pain to switch (honestly they should do something about that) would still rather use Swype for English since it is soooo much better.
- epicaricacy on 07/12/2011 - 10:34
  
  agree! Trying to go back to one key press typing is excruciating after using Swype - and I make everyone jealous when i show them it while they keep making fat thumb mistakes on their iPhone. Just wish I could do it on my keyboard on my computer - it seems so ridiculously fast!

oh crap, I bought the first app from my computer after I registered with G wallet. How do I get it to download thru my phone? I received the email confirmation but it doesn't provide a link to the download and it is asking for $0.10c on the marketplace.

update : Oh, silly me, if you go into the apps list on the Gmarketplace you can find it hiding down the bottom of the list.

update 2:I only got 2 apps, papercam and minecraft , because most of the other games are apparently incompatible with my Acer Liquid Metal, and the utility apps were a bit meh. Still a good find.
- thangcuoi on 07/12/2011 - 10:43
  
  The purchase is link to your Google account. Once purchase, they are available for all future updates and devices you own.

    - ihfree on 07/12/2011 - 11:24
      
      Yes, you should be able to.
      
      Most applications I own have been installed to phone + tablet. At one point some were installed to three devices (Optus MyTab which I took overseas last month).
    - Kiz on 07/12/2011 - 11:24
      
      I'm assuming so, but not 100%. Need to test when I get home tonight. They came straight to my phone, so I'm hoping they work on my tablet too. Great find too OP, I've never purchased from the android market (besides free apps), but this made me purchase :)
      
      EDIT: I have just looked at purchase history and opened up one of the apps I had installed on my phone. As a test, from the Paper Camera app page, I hit the purchased link and chose to install it to my xoom. No request to be charged again happened. Will confirm that it's on my xoom also when I get home

  Thanks nanoronline, you've cost me $1 in the last two days. You're gonna put me out of business soon! But ten new apps to play with is pretty sweet. Can't wait to see what tomorrow's are!

Some of them were ex-free app of the day from Amazon Appstore. However, for 10 cents each, I will buy them on the market.

One thing though, I bought apps from Android Market before. I always get charged an overseas transaction fee by my credit card provider.
- nanoronline on 07/12/2011 - 09:49
  
  Hmmm.. Do you have a debit card with MasterCard or VISA? Try use debit instead if you can. I don't get any fees with my app purchases.
  
  And the good thing with buying from Android Market is that it'll always get updated and you'll get notified if there's an update, instead of having to check by yourself like with Amazon.
  - epicaricacy on 07/12/2011 - 10:35

    Woolworths debit card lists a 2.5% trtansaction charge - which one do you use? (I just checked becuase I received an email about card fee being waived - I was considering it…. but too many fees
- dealman on 07/12/2011 - 16:37

My first 2 app purchases @ 10c each which Google has a pending charges on my credit card of these amount, plus a separate item "PENDING - GOOGLE CHECKOUT INTERNET…" of $2!!! I didn't buy anything for 2 bux.
Please tell me that this is an account verification test that is refunded by them?
- nanoronline on 07/12/2011 - 09:46
  
  Erm.. Sorry i have no idea.. It's been a year since I first bought apps.. And with Google Wallet now their policy has changed. So hopefully, you're right?
  - Windows7forever on 07/12/2011 - 09:48
    
    I don't have time to read thru their TOS but will wait a few days for them to refund the amount, probably just a holding amount to prevent CC fraud and protect the merchant.

Why can't I find almost any of these applications in the market? For example, I search for "sketchbook", get 105 results, but there is no "Sketchbook Mobile" among them.
I have a phone with android 2.2, and this app require 2.1, so there should be no compatibility issue..

The only catch is… you need to have a compatible device to purchase the app. Some apps. want a high end Android phone. Why can't we just purchase them and stock them up for later use?

Got 7 of them.

(OT: Unfortunately for me my new BP cable wireless dropped out and all these downloaded not on WiFi but via 3G so they have cost me a lot more than 10c each, some of them are very large files. Shakes fist at BigPond supplied router, this never happened when I was on Internode /rant.)
