For developers that are also interested in stocking other marketplaces, fortunately, the model from SlideME.org relinquishes the developer to have to manage the complexities such as invoicing, sourcing what sales tax to apply, collecting sales taxes, and submitting to all the tax authorities what has been collected from sales.
Indeed the userbase for SAM (SlideME’s App store client) is not as large as Android Market’s that is pre-installed on devices, but with the help and support from developers to mention on their sites that any end users(from anywhere in the world) can also purchase your application from SlideME will indeed eventually create a larger SAM user base. Above all, end users are not locked into using another Google product such as Google Checkout account (disclosing even their buying habits) that is limited with no support to most countries worldwide.

Hope this helps.
