that's all well and good from a user perspective. as a developer, why on earth would you trust apple to determine whether or not your app is crap?

  good luck with the play store then: http://unleashthephones.com/2013/04/09/google-removed-60000-low-quality-apps-from-play-store-in-february/ http://unleashthephones.com/2013/04/09/google-removed-60000-... "Google removed 60,000 Low-Quality Apps from Play Store in February" how does Google define low-quality again?

    i wouldn't need to trust google; there would always be a way to get my app to users who want it whether or not google wants it in their official play store. that is the huge difference between apple and google - google says "if we think your app is good quality we'll carry it in our store, otherwise find some other way to promote and sell it"; apple says "if we think your app is good quality we'll allow it on the iphone". with apple, there is no "otherwise".

      bold prediction on my part: nexus phones and tablets soon will only be able to access the official play store. and launcher replacements will get kicked out.

        this is an infantile prediction. there is no support for it, nor basis for the behavior from Google.
