The number of well developed apps seems to be increasing as we folks are starting to realize that Android is a force that will be around for a while. But, that said, there is a lot of apps that are written by first time programmers that are really quite lame. I think that it is great that they are taking the initiative to learn to program, but at least be up front about it and don’t wast our time.

There should also be some sort of pricing guidelines too. For example, Locale released their free beta (which rocked) then jumped up to $10 without warning, and the dev broke a lot of what made it great. On the flip side, you have Setting Profiles (Similar to Locale) which gave a free light version, then only charged a third of what Locale charged, and it is a more feature rich App, with better tech support. So, what are we paying for?

Another thing, If the flash thing takes off, we will see a substantial burst in apps. Not only that, it would solve a lot of issues between different phones, screen sizes, and versions of Android (assuming that Flash is supported on said phone)

I really like the market. Especially coming from the Palm Treo camp. But I would really like to see some filtering ability. I think that searching by ratings or what is new would save a lot of time.

As to purchased items… Yeah, my son picked up my phone and managed to buy a driving game all by himself. I returned it and got the refund, but it was way too easy for him. Although after being read the riot act, he may not be so quick to do it again. ;0D

” market will never be a big.” is meant to be:

” market will never be a big player.”

Some how “player” is apart of my name

If Google doesn’t address the Google Checkout problem the android market will never be a big.

Google should just allow paypal, and no returns on paypal purchases.(Since its really easy to do a digital chargeback)

@dan Androlib is not accurate. They also list deleted apps. I have 3 and 2 were deleted by me and they still list tem.

On Android, for some countries, developers can only publish free apps. For example, Google has not published any infos about Checkout for swiss developers yet.

FYI: The United Kingdom is in Europe.

If only it wasn’t clogged with “apps” like themes and keyboard skins. I wish the market supported a way to have apps that depend on appsbe in their own separate section that only people with the parent app installed can see.

I’m hoping for a steady increase in quality games, I’d love some Plants vs Zombies or Peggle on my Nexus!
