Google has moved swiftly with the news thatr Apple is to share more money with developers in its Apple App Store.

Google is to change its Play Store to share a greater level of the revenue, and to make it available sooner.

Now Google plans to up the ante at its app store: It will also move from a 70/30 split to 85/15 for subscriptions — but instead of requiring developers to hook a subscriber for 12 months before offering the better split, it will make it available right away.
