I agree with Al. It is doesn't matter if application is open source or not. Application has is associated with Google and that is enough for people to prefer it over your application. This is just one application but I belive that there will be more and more Google applications. Maybe next application will be like your application but it will have Google marketing behind and who wants to download application writen by "John Doe" when there is Google app. Yahoo! can not compete with Google. Microsoft... who do you belive that you can?
Probably this is just one of many Google apps that are comming and for developers that want to earn money on Android Market fact that it is open soruce (FREE) application is not a good news. Maybe I am wrong but...
