Couple thoughts on this. TreKing has a good idea. I've seen this done before. The only thing I would be worried about is as a user of the app, having to pass thru all this content to get to the app. Sure, you probably allow them to skip it. A different idea.. is this even worthy..is to provide a link to your site and let all the info in there. That way your app is smaller, the user can go to your site when they want or if they want, and you can provide more info and details, feedback form, etc. Of course, I would guess a lot less people will actually go to the site tho.
It would be great if there was some sort of Android Developers Info site that google provided where we could get some questions answered, and info about when things will be available posted. For example, a rough idea when OpenGL/CL will be distributed, a JIT in the JVM, and more markets that developers can sell to. As well, if the Market is just an Android app, why can't that be updated fairly quickly? I know some things take time, like getting into other markets..although a year with not many added does seem very long. But the market app is basically a pointer to server side data.. filtering it and such. Why not make it more robust, allow longer comments, a forum like comment system, more screen shots, and so forth? That would greatly benefit developers and users alike.
