Developers will be able to make their content available on an open service hosted by Google that features a feedback and rating system similar to YouTube. We chose the term "market" rather than "store" because we feel that developers should have an open and unobstructed environment to make their content available. Similar to YouTube, content can debut in the marketplace after only three simple steps: register as a merchant, upload and describe your content and publish it. We also intend to provide developers with a useful dashboard and analytics to help drive their business and ultimately improve their offerings.

Obviously the post here takes shots at the iTunes App Store. No big surprise, and no big deal. It would be fantastic if they could put up anything they wanted. There wouldn't be delays for bug fix releases to be posted. There wouldn't be complaints about what apps Apple allows and what apps Apple denies. It would be great. Or would it be?

There is no shortage of complaints about all the crap that makes it to the iTunes App Store. This is going to be 100x worse with Google's system that provides no barrier at all to entry. The comparison to YouTube is a good one to use. Just think about all the crap that's on YouTube. That same quality to crap ratio will undoubtedly be present at the Android store. Gee, I can't wait for that.
