Btw. Did you all get an Email from the Android Market Team? I have two apps listed in the Market but didn't receive a mail. I haven't listed a support email address however. Maybe that is the reason? In the past I still got mail from the Android Market Team, but for example I didn't get a mail regarding the free Nexus One at first, because they seem to use the support email address too.
