Well, I imagine most Android users prefer GPL-licensed software, which is overwhelmingly also free as in beer. I know I do. CyanogenMod and FLOSS cover the majority of what I need from a phone-computer-thingy. For instance, I needed some GPS / navigation - OsmAnd and OpenGPS tracker. OsmAnd even allows download of vector data for entire countries and POI databases. Or, you need a timed photo taking application? rrTimeLapse does the job. In most cases, these applications are less cluttered and with saner UI than the flashier paid versions. I would pay, however, for certain applications - such as the excellent Thinking Space mind mapping software (which has a free ad-supported version with very lax limitations), or Titanium Backup. But in my part of Europe I can't pay for apps in the Market. Maybe they should look into fixing that.
