Isn't it surprising that Android marketplace sucks too? I thought that would have been a point of pride for Google, but if anything it is worse than the iPhone.

Isn't it surprising that Android marketplace sucks too? I thought that would have been a point of pride for Google, but if anything it is worse than the iPhone. But if you think about it, there is little in common between web search and app search. App searching really boils down to correct descriptions and quality reviews. You aren't just trying to find AN app, you are trying to find a good app. How do you do that without links? Reviews can be gamed, ratings can be gamed. The only thing that is objective are sales/downloads. Which means blockbusters rise to the top and new apps are buried. It isn't an easy problem.
