Well, I mentioned this before and I was told that I was "offending a developer" for saying that an application looked really bad for $4.99 I've seen many applications on the Android Market that barely do something. My #1 complain about the market is the lack of polished applications. I mean, there are a lot of good applications but at the same time a lot of applications that makes you feel that you lost time downloading that. More if you actually bought it. Not to mention a lot of old java games ported to Android that make you feel like using an older phone.
Also the Market lacks a good featured section. Weekly tops, Google recommends/T-Mobile/Whatever, you call it. Just look at those iPhone commercials showing you really cool applications that actually make people go and buy stuff. Also on the list is: - Web based market (apps can be perfectly pushed to your phone, so no need for desktop/sync stuff) - Market share. Android is selling very well but we just need more phones and countries. In Canada and Chile people still have no idea what Android is. - Market redesign - I have much more fun browsing the AppStore with screenshots, better comments, better categories.
