Hi all, Maybe this has been discussed before (it probably has). Perhaps someone from Google could comment on this.
Are there any plans to implement some sort of group/team to review the applications before they're released onto the Market? I've never written anything for iPhone but from what I've read there's at least some quality control in place - an application has to go through some sort of review process before it's made available for public consumption, I believe. So why not do that here? Let's be honest - there are some great programs out there, and there's absolute crap... some of these are borderline scams! I can think of a few apps that have great descriptions but when you download them, they're nothing more than slideshows or something similar. I've even seen the feedback for one of these applications which said that you have to wait 24 hours before it will work - which is, as we all know, the time at which the sale is final and no refund is given. If that's not a dodgy practice I don't know what is... I know it's still an early stage in the game for the platform but it's got a lot of potential - we wouldn't be here if it wasn't, would we? The only way to draw more quality developers to the platform is to implement some sort of control... it seems like it's the wild west here.
