Hello Sean, If I compare with the iPhone App Store, long app descriptions are not an issue. It is really always useful to get detailed information especially for paid apps.
I fully agree that the Android Market is missing a screen shot section. Not having it for free apps is not a big issue because people can just download the app and see it suits their needs. This is quite another story for paid apps... Concerning the comment response, I would reorganize the comments to be threaded so that everybody (not only the developer) could post responses. It could be based on the Google Groups techno stack btw.... Then, I still think that it is completely heretic to think that having the Android Market just accessible thru the Market Application on the phone is the only way to go. A lot of people wants to be able to search, see descriptions / screenshots and also send the applications to the phone thru their desktop browser: I am quite fed up to install one by one on the phone all the app that I have interest into. I am not even speaking about searching app thru the Android Market App which is a very painful experience... Then, if you have the feature "send an app to the phone thru my browser", you are not far away to the "backup feature" which is cruelly missing right now. You could imagine that Google is just keeping track of your apps for you and can push them again to your phone if you need to. Can we have some feedback about this from any Google person ?
