Android Publishing

I've been tinkering with some Android development, writing a couple of games. I intended to make them available via the Android Market, but as I am finishing one up and preparing it for distribution, I find that there is a fee for submitting an application, even a free one.

I'm all for limiting the trash (which is the justification for the fee), but I'm not sure its worth $25 for me to have something "published" there, even if it is a one-time fee. Amazon is even worse, charging developers $99/year.

At this point, I'm thinking it is OK to keep distributing it to friends from a website.
