[android-developers] Getting Acquired: Selling Apps and Games to a Business/Investor

I'm working on an article about app developers selling their apps/games to larger companies for Phandroid.com and hoping some developers here may be able to offer some insight. If you have any experience, insight, stories to share, or people to refer, please respond here or shoot me an E-Mail at rob (at) phandroid (.) com

Some specific questions I have:

• Does Google currently facilitate the transfer of acquired apps/games from one developer account to another?
• If so, what are the requirements?
• If not, is this something Google may plan for the future?
• Does Google recommend any "best practices" for Android Developers so that they may one day sell their app with minimal complications? Perhaps creating a separate dev account for each account, or signing each app with a different key, or any other practices?
• Can a developer change the signing key of an app upon request or through any automated means?

I'm guessing the process is rudimentary and relegated to the huge companies buying big name apps like Draw Something, but curious to hear your thoughts. I'm still hoping Google will implement some simpler Developer features like Github-style organization/team management so multiple developers can administer an application in the Market/Play.

Thanks for your help!
