There should be a separate tabs for Paid apps, not sure if that's the case? A search functionality would help too. But in general people would be happy to download free stuff and not bother with paid apps, unless some genius marketing makes a paid app suddenly popular. And the phones needs to be released all over the world so the Android user base grows to a reasonable number.
But I must admit its a bit surprising that you are not getting even 0.1% of your user base willing to pay. take care, Muthu Ramadoss. http://linkedin.com/in/tellibitz +91-9840348914 http://androidrocks.in - Android Consulting.
