Josh,

He also raised the following points;

- Presentation of applications
- By default all apps are in one bucket (so apps which generate the 30% for
Google et al. and help a developer pay bills get no extra visibility).
- Apps which developers release updates for have the same visibility as apps
that developers abandon after a single release.

Now I know that you can filter by paid or free only apps, but how many of us
would have found that option easily?

Al.

Subject: [android-discuss] Re: Comparison of iPhone & G1 app selling


Just needed to point out that his criticism seemed to boil down to that the
app on iPhone sold in 1 day as much as the android app did in
3 weeks.  If you take his estimation of deployed devices, 20-to-1 which is
probably in the ballpark... you should see exactly that number of sales.  3
weeks = 21 days.  Hardly newsworthy if you ask me.

That said, his critsicisms of the Market's flaws are dead on and should be
fixed.
