Being a real lover of the Android platform, I'm a little frustrated that things aren't perfect, that there are some devices that can't [yet] see some apps, and that there are splinter devices (Archos) that won't have access to the de-facto Android App market.
Nonetheless, Google's market is amongst the top selling points for all Android phones, is a key point of comparison when pitting Android is pitted against Apple, WimMo, etc., and as such, will succeed and continue to grow, in my opinion. I would very much like to chase phone models and make sure they can all see our apps--we want sales as much as the next team--but I really believe this thinking is backwards. OEMs should be the ones working to make sure their phones have access to the widest array of apps possible. As long as we developers follow the standards, practice good development practices and do the 'right thing' to make our apps run on all phones, the continued problem of 'disenfranchised phones' will attract attention, and it's the OEMs who will pay (HTC, being that they are so far the kings of "can't do that").
