Given that this is such a massive opportunity for growth for them, I can’t imagine that they won’t put all the necessary resources towards this. And quick.

Yeah, I have an Android phone with all the features I like except the Apps. Google should pay attention to the Android user experience and learn from its competitors.

Whilst I’m happy to sully myself in the detritus of the web; I see no reason why my mother, wife and daughter should have to make judgements whether they’re safe to download an app; Apple know this and act accordingly and I think you’re 100% correct that it’s time for Google to be a little less lessez faire with other peoples’ security.

It's correct what Google is doing.
What some articles calling "Noise" is actually what many downloading. Free ringtones... yeah annoying, I make my own one with Ringdroid. But some people do like it, they just download the app, get some ringtones out of it and are happy.
Same with many other apps.
Some call it irrelevant, some call it best reason for having an Android.
C H O I C E !
You have it, deal with it. Who said having a choice is easy ?
Who said freedom comes without a price ?

So please Google, DO NOT FIX the marketplace. It doesn't need to. I don't want another iGestapo-store

Google has his own plans on improving the actual Market in the near future.

In the meanwhile, you may consider checking sites like ours; we're trying to fullfill some of those not covered needs.

Thanks!

Google has to mind the App Store is what I think the title should have been back when they added iGoogle. Half the apps are not updated still, even the one’s that Google developed. So, I was not surprised to read the title of this article. Google is great, but they “NEED TO FOCUS” and not have their hands in too many candy jars. Trust me, Google will not listen to me. I have tried, they just ignored me. But hey, GBuzz was built by programmers, it is not really a social site to compete with FB. Don’t hate me it’s just my opinion.

Here’s hoping that the guy that just defected to Google from Palm will be able to do some good work on the user experience side.
