I'm really wondering what these usability issues you speak about ? From my perspective the only difference between the ios app market and android market is the curated lists. Apple provides a lot of lists example, news and noteworthy, staff picks, top free, top paid, .. etc. Have you ever tried app brain market interface ? One of the reasons I think ios has people spending more money on apps is simply because of these curated lists. Basically free promotions by apple, and their users willing to try what apple is promoting.

To clarify - the built in Android Market app was less than stellar in terms of usability (navigation and finding stuff mainly) when I've used it in the past - it may have improved. This was one of the main obstacles to getting new apps for most users. App Brain does do a lot to improve things, and I've pointed people to it. The point being that Apple having iTunes and people being used to how it works for purchases, and that they often will already have an account means lower barriers to purchasing apps.
