I have strong criticism to your criticism :D We NEED a good tool in order to make the best of(and for) the android platform.
Not we WANT !! We NEED ! And if google and the Android Team want to make it a success then THEY HAVE to move. The current market is a joke, and I'm very sad to learn from your mail that the Android team knows all about it and doesn't do a thing or communicate on the what and when of the improvement, while behind the scene they just fool around with the ranking algorithm instead of giving us basic Statistics. I still have to see where the carriers get a share of the 30% since every sale is done via google checkout which is handled by google. Anyway. Good draft and let's hope it makes the Android Team move on the subject.
