Hi,
2011/10/7 Steven Walling steven.walling@gmail.com:
I think rather than have two identical versions in the Market, which
would
no doubt confuse a great many people [...]
I'm not sure about this confusion thing. It's pretty common to have two identical versions of the same app, with one called "Wikipedia (donation version)" for example.

I've not once seen two identical apps by the same company, but one for pay arbitrarily. There are "premium versions" with additional features, but that's not what we're talking about here.
One example that comes to mind is OsmAnd and OsmAnd+, although nowadays, the donation version does have a couple of extra features (but one can download the nightlies for free even of the + version).[1] I believe, there are a couple of others if you search for "donation" in the name of the apps[2] – the paid-for versions might sport extra features, but I don't think that is expected by the users.
Best regards, Bence
