Android and The Android Market are contiuing to spread across the world, stopping off at new countries all the time.  While some are fully operating with paid apps, others are only just now offering free titles.  Here’es a quick recap of recent updates from around the world.

• As of today, there are free apps available in France, Italy, Spain, Canada, Portugal, Switzerland, and Ireland.
• Over  the next couple weeks, paid apps will arrive in Germany, Austria, Netherlands, France, and Spain.
