Having studied the market for a while now I think retention rate is maybe given the highest weighting.
That would most likely explain why all the top 10 apps are ALWAYS a mixture of widgets and task managers - i.e. apps that people tend to keep for a long while and use daily. I appreciate retention is a measure of a good app, but I think that having such a high weighting on this means that the top 10 apps rarely change. The iphone app store has a much more fluid top 10 - I think this is healthy for a growing market as it encourages new developers and original concepts. Widgets have their uses but Android needs to encourage more flash-in-the-pan type apps which are popular for a couple of weeks at a time just to liven up the market.
