something different than a shopping bag in a simple,
I don't think people necessarily associate shopping bags with paid apps.
People using Android (Which uses a bag as it's icon) tend to get more free
apps than paid ones. They still use the Market icon, which looks like a
shopping bag. I very rarely see any Android users opening up the browser to
go
First: who is people? You need to define an audience.
Do you assume that newcomers are people who come from Android phones
to a desktop OS?
If Ubuntu's audience is computer literate people with smartphones and

A quick and easy idea. Using the same concept used in U1 brand for the USC.
