Yes, well exactly that I'm worried about the "Just In" view. I want
to upload my application and give users the chance to find out about
my application that way at least once in a while. But now it's a joke
to look there it pure spam! No longer interested my self to look at
the "Just In" since it garbage!
I feel bad for the new developers trying to get their work
discovered. It seems that "Just In" is a good way to get recognized
and I know you can only be there if you run updates every month or
something...
Maybe starting a petition to this issue would help? Not sure but I
really care about my application and more importantly the Android
Market!
