Hopefully there not being much information about the market is not the
only reason for doing an app distribution site. :}

Note that it in my opinion it wouldn't make any sense to have the
market available at this point, because nobody should be publishing
their apps without first actually running them on a real phone, and
since no phones are yet available, that is kind-of a hard hurdle to
jump over.  I also think that anyone else doing an app store should
think long and hard about this as well: publishing a bunch of
applications that have never actually run on a real phone is going to
give you a store full of a bunch of crummy applications.  Not because
the developers are bad, but just because running an app on the
emulator is very rarely enough to be able to make an app that works
well on the real phone.

I can already see likely problems on apps in your store: for example
Android Location seems to have these custom menus with small text,
which are going to be impossible to press with your finger.  A lot of
people have complained about how big the UI is in the emulator,
without understanding that when you have that screen on a phone it is
a significantly smaller and trying to interact with the UI with a
finger requires fairly large hit regions.
