Android is already shaping up to destroy WinMo and WebOS... There will be plenty of people buying quality games, I'm sure they'll be there, like all the other major devs.

If it gets better email and exchange integration RIM (Blackberry) had better watch out.

Well good! I just bought a Droid, and I have to say it is AMAZING! Graphical capabilities are pretty nice too. Now we just need some more good developers to take advantage of the hardware.

I just got a Droid and it doesn't seem that great. I mean, the gold plating is nice but it just sort of stumbles around and says "oh dear" a lot.

You're lucky then, the one I got just keeps running around beeping at everything... I have no idea what's going on with him...

Last time I buy a droid at those traveling merchants I tell you.

Must be a bad motivator. My Droid is fine.

Mine keeps asking if I want someone killed. It's getting harder to tell him no, too.

I'm pretty sure if you run the numbers you'll see the iphone has 400x the users per day over the last 3 years than Android. It's a new market. It would be nice to see the numbers in per person per year downloads.

On Android, users feel that they are entitled to an array of free applications because for the first three months, the Android Market lacked any sort of payment system, making all applications free. People have really high expectations for paid apps, and this, coupled with the fact that you can return apps within 24 hours, really kills a lot of the niche games/applications market.

The return rate for my Android utility that costs 99 CENTS can be well over 25%, and on top of that, Google/carriers take 30% off each sale.

I have been very happy with my paid apps. Especially Open Home and Better Keyboard. They do not run perfect but they also don't say they fully support Android 2.0 so its expected until they update them.

Coolbho3000: Maybe your utility just sucks. There are many more Android users now than when the apps were free for the first 3 months (so there goes your first argument) and if anything, having a return policy would make it more likely for someone to take a chance on a crappy $.99 utility.
