There are some useful stats at;

http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/02/19/pinch-media-data-shows-the-average-shelf-life-of-an-iphone-app-is-less-than-30-days/

Which cover application usage over time for an iPhone app. I would 
expect the model to be similar for Android apps, although I think the 24 
hour return period may skew the usage pattern to cause a bigger drop-off 
in the first 24 hours.

To me 50% is very high, it shows people are treating it as a 
try-before-you-really-buy method.
