This is GOOD news! More quality apps will be on their way, just wait for the stupid developers to realize their apps wont make them money.

I saw paid apps quite awhile ago but couldn't sort until several days after. @Nikolai – the paid apps and the ability to sort by paid/free must have been rolled out separately.

There are alot of weird pricing going on too along with currency variations (some apps in pounds, euros, WTF! doesn't the phone automagicaly know to post in your local currency based on your prefs) Its not looking good. I expected all the same crap apps to stay free while very good apps to then get submitted as paid. Now all i see are .99 1.99 fart apps, a frick'n 34.99 app for golf that was shit when it was a demo, and dogg catcher even went 9.99 WTF? I expected catcher to be .99 which i'd pay but 9.99 fuck that. I can use the rss feeds on my podcasts and just download the mp3s and listen to them in the music player. Heck doggcatch only worked semi good when detecting new pod casts and downloading them (over wifi). this does not bode well for android market. Instead of it looking like a joke with free crap apps now its just a joke with idiot people paying for the crap apps. Yep TONS of the same crappy apps but now they CHARGE you!

I published Aviator Watch and initially had it at $1, but then only a few hours later made it free instead. This seemed to confuse the system and the app disappeared completely :-) I guess maybe that wasn't a scenario they really thought of or tested. Anyways I expect it will be back again and is free so don't send me hate mail or anything because I had the 'gall' to ask for $1 for my app ;-) Hey.
