Thanks for sharing. I make GPS apps for the iPhone, and this indicates to me that I should continue to wait and see on the Android platform.
I've read that while there are a lot of Android phones, the app buying behavior is much less profitable than on the iPhone. I think iPhone users are just conditioned to spend money!
I feel that there's definitely been a push with the release of Android 1.6 to change the buying behavior of Android phone users. Most noticeably, the Android market app will open to a list of paid apps, instead of a list of free apps.
And screenshots, which can help users make the decision about whether to download or buy easier. Fetching 5 good-looking apps gets better results than downloading 20 mystery ones. Out of those 5, you're more likely to upgrade to a full version.
