Let the users filter them. Eventually those apps will fall to the bottom of
the list (if they havent already). Apple has an approval process and they
still have tasteless apps get thru.

Just saying.

I don't really think it's an issue at this point. Especially since you can
get a refund up to 24 hours after purchase.

We guys have to wait till more shiny good looking, light weight phones
hit the market along with the cool new cupcake update..
Once the consumer base increases, we are going to get more companies
in and quality apps on the market too..
Compare the consumer base and its no where near the iPhone..
Advertising seems like the obvious answer? Currently, AdMob is
cleaning up on in application advertising. Nothing has been announce
yet but Google's geniuses must be aware of the revenue they are
currently foregoing.
If it's internal, what are their plans for revenue based on the platform?
I can see why Google may not want to moderate market submissions.
For one, it would come at a cost. There would have to be a team of
people responsible for it and they'd likely have to take a cut of app
profits to cover the cost.
Um, 30% seems like a generous cut of app profits.

then where does it go?

This information is easily available to anyone who has done even the
*slightest* research.
Ok, you caught me. I didn't research it at all. So T-Mobile (in the
states) gets the 30%? Where is google's motivation in this whole
thing? It all made sense to me when I thought google was getting all
or part of that 30% but if they get none, where's the money coming
from to justify the
I am guessing off of download counts. Top games
1) JewelLust 10-50k downloads
2) Retro defense 1-5k
3) Aevum Obscurum 1-5k
So the 2nd best downloaded game is less than 5k of downloads (not
sales). Multiple by the 2-4 dollars per game and there aren't many
that could possibly be clearing 10k.
Actually the press release says carriers and billing settlement fees.
The billing settlement might count as payment to google. I would
assume the Settlement fees would be about the same as a normal
google checkout transaction.
Either way 30% is a pretty fair fee. If you disagree check out what

Improve the market feedback. Sure you can scam the first 24 hours of
users, but after that when everyone posts comments that it is a scam,
sales are going to go to zero. Similarly the refund policy makes it
easy to try before you buy versus the iPhone app store where after you
spend your .99s you
I believe Google's solution is to allow the junk to be rated down and
comments available to deter people away. But I agree, I wish there
was a team to filter out applications that don't meet certain
standards.
