An open testing ground of ideas and consumer police keeping things in check make the Android Market a platform that fans innovation and limits risk.
I like to check out the "Just In" tab of the Android Market on my handset. You can see normal mortals putting up apps to test daily.
Apps that already exist and are updated always rise to the top, which motivates people to upgrade and improve.
Some of the apps have names of software companies and others, like an SMS pop-up app I like, just give a person's name (Adam K.). Some of the app descriptions will tell you more about the people developing them.
Alerts for updates appear the notifications shade.
User reviews and the ability to refund apps within 24 hours act as a mechanism to deal with poorly performing apps and running downloads that weren't designed for your handset.
Uninstalling the app immediately credits the app. If you try to download and refund yourself multiple times, you own the app.
The Android Market covers a variety of handset makers and different versions of the Android operating system so some user input needed for a successful experience.
