Hi Brill, Thanks a lot for the response and the suggestions. I updated the app description with a one liner indicating what our specific competitor has been upto.
Given how sensitive an app's quality perception is based on top reviews, I really wish Android market provided their vendors/ developers a way to respond to comments esp. to users who frequently update/touch their comments. Thanks, --MB.
