Flexion for Developers:For developers looking to increase conversion rates and protect content against piracy – a growing problem for Android developers – Flexion’s wrapper technology offers secure one-click operator billing in 80 markets and in-built licensing. Rather than adding additional billing SDKs to their game code, the Flexion wrapper automatically enables in-app billing for products. The wrapper also enables DRM and content discovery via Discovery, an on-device portal, which promotes more games to customers.
