But no support for developers outside the US/UK selling apps. Very disappointing :\

My app can't run on an iphone and I'm from Canada, so I can't use Android's priced market. Maybe I'll be able to finally hawk my wares at the BB Store whenever they launch it.

You can still sell and distribute your applications through your own channel. There's nothing to stop an Android device owner from downloading and installing an App directly from the internet.
They say that support will come for other countries by the end of the quarter.

However, if you don't want to wait and see what they do, maybe you just need a partner in the US who can set up an Android Market account and pass you the money ? It would work best for you if you had a relative you could trust in the US, they could set up the account and give you the password, and you would work everything from there, and when the money hit the US person's account you would have them transfer it by whatever means were most convient.

If you don't have such a person, maybe ask here on YC and see if you can find someone who would be willing to do it, and sign a contract to deliver the money.

If you don't mind telling us, what is your app and what feature does it use that stops it from running on the iPhone ?
