[android-developers] Re: Install % drop again?

On the other hand, maybe Google realized that a lot of people are
bored with seeeing the same old apps on the front Market page week in
week out. I think this "old system" created a bigger and bigger divide
between established apps and the new apps that have no chance to even
come near the big ones, so people never see them. In turn established
apps make more and more money and the small apps just bump around the
bottom even though they may be just as good.
