日前，谷歌宣布将在Android Market中推行应用分级制度，接下来几周内，该应用商店的所有内容都将划分为“所有人、儿童、青少年、成人”这四个级别。

虽然谷歌方面称此举主要是为了让Android用户掌握更多的应用内容知情权，但仍不禁让人联想到苹果乔布斯对Android Market充斥“色情”内容的这一说法。

从下周开始，开发商在上传新应用、更新应用内容时，都要自己注明应用级别，这些应用分级结果将公开显示；如果开发商没有对应用进行分级，系统将默认该内容为“成人”级别。（本文为游戏邦/gamerboom.com编译，转载请注明来源：游戏邦）

Android Apps to Get Content Ratings

The Android Market can be a frustrating place to find applications. And according to a blog post today, Google says that giving users more information about apps as they browse the Market has been “a top request” from Android users.

So in the spirit of giving good information (and not at all to combat ideas that Android is full of porn, I’m sure), Google will be adding content ratings to Android apps..

The policy won’t be changing in terms of what content is allowed in the Android Market. But in coming weeks, all applications will be rated based on whether they fall into the All, Pre-Teen, Teen, or Mature categories. These categories are based on whether or not apps contain profanity, sexual content, and violence, for example. Developers are responsible for rating their apps themselves, although users will be able to flag apps that may be rated incorrectly.

In preparation for the new ratings, starting next week, developers submitting new or updated applications will be required to provide a rating when they upload their apps to the Market. And by the time that all the ratings are visible to the public, all applications and games will have to be rated, otherwise they’ll be automatically tagged as “Mature.”（source:readwriteweb）
