(I am coming from an iPhone experience)

When we create an iPhone app, Apple gives us a http URL that we can put on web pages that when clicked will open iTunes and give the user a chance to buy on their desktop.

As Android has no "iTunes" Windows/Mac application on the desktop, what do I link to on my Web pages/email marketing so that users can go and buy the Android apps we are writing?

There are several ways. You can put your apk file directly to your homepage. But you can also publish it on the Android market. See this link for a useful guide:

If we only wish to sell apps, do we need to only publish in the Market and not host the .apk on our site?

You could also host it on your site but you would need to create some type of unlock key.

Put this link on your site where <packagename> is the name of your android application. It will directly open up the Andorid Market an a Market phone, or it will take a Windows Browser to the details of the android app.

http://market.android.com/details?id=&lt;packagename > or market://details?id=<packagename>
