I respectfully disagree... if this were the case there wouldn't be nearly so much stability at the top of every category. While I don't deny that "acceleration" may be part of the equation, I doubt it's key. My guess is that some metric like "downloads per week" is more likely; this would account for both hot new arrivals and old-timers with continuing popularity. Unfortunately, this would mean that appealing-sounding crapps could achieve relatively high visibility, if uninstalls aren't removed from the total used for ranking. It'd be nice if star-ratings were more highly factored in - it'd make it easier to find hidden gems - but then, some idiot would game that system too.
