You’re wrong about not being able to clear cashe; it’s easy actually. All you need to do is:

Home->System Settings->Applications->Manage Applications

Here, click Menu select Filter and pick All.

Look at the list, Market will be on it. Click on Market and then click on Clear Cache.

Hope this helps…

I would like to be able to edit previous searches. As it is, clicking on a previous search retries that search word, so you have to re-enter a similar word anew.

Think minimize key strokes..

some good suggestions for updates…

* G1 needs a much improved picture camera that takes quiker and more crisp pics, the current version is inferior (maybe a softeware update)

*wallpapers should no HAVE to be cropped, when using an image from camera or internet img

*mms (when receiving) really needs work. we should be able to see mms attached media & pics full screen

*one long word “longerbatterylifeneeded”

*in picture gallery, we should be able to delete more than one picture at a time ( maybe several at once )

*screen multi-touch capabilities would be nice (zoom in and out by “pinching” the screen)

*flash flash flash, good quality video player and microsoft exchange email should all be standard on the android platform..afterall, I hope they didn’t think the G1 in the color white was enuf to compete witht the iphone

Oops, on second glance I totally missed the fine print on complaint #5, where you already cover the review problem. Disregard previous comment.

Nice & well thought-out list! However, I am surprised to see nothing about the review spam/idiocy problem.

My best idea for handing review spam:
1) Let users flag reviews as foul/unhelpful/etc
2) Google analyzes these flagging results, and then automatically hides the notoriously bad reviews from *all* users (unless they turn this option off, etc).

Really, the same approach could be used in the opposite manner as well — let users flag the good/helpful reviews as well, and give users the option to see these first and foremost, etc.

You can actually link to an email address but not a website.

Good list. I’m sure these will get sorted out soon enough. Number 1 would drive me crazy. Unclickable links?!
