With the added of app images it was very helpful rather than downloading it blindly to see what it looked like. I've never had problems checking out with the Google account but downloading can be an issue which is because of TMo I think rather than the market. I disagree that the return should be longer. I think 24hours is more than enough to download, and try it out. If you don't like it within say 15 minutes, your going to return it. Longer and people can abuse it. I think people are already abusing the 24 hr. They play the game until its done and then return it for instance. The developers after all are trying to make money and that only will discourage dev to make more apps. The iPhone for instance has NO return policy. It is isn't perfect but improving. It would be nice to be able to search by stars for instance, opening up to more countries and sometimes finding an app is rather cumbersome because some of the apps are in placed in strange categories that are not intuitive.

I know there's webpage, but it only lets you see the top 5 apps in category and there's no search. Apple does this well with their iTunes. Also if you're using American Express - you can only purchase apps whose price is listed in USD. Again, this restriction is not there in the Apple app store.

That is my opinion as a game dev. Honestly, a game that you can finish in 24 hours or less is not worth paying for. That is my opinion as a game dev.

Europe?) would definitely bring more money to the developers. Opening the market for wider audience (like hmm.. Europe?) would definitely bring more money to the developers.

However I think there should be two refund windows. I think game developers are getting screwed with people 'buying' a game with every intention of beating it and returning it in under 24 hours. Games should have an 8 hour window. That's more than enough time to decide if you want to keep a game. Productivity apps should have a 48 hour refund window.
