I've said it many time, you are buying a computer that happens to also make phone calls, take that approach and you will do well with your Droid!
I love how the news sites talk about the low quality of the apps available compared to number. Well, yes, there will be bad apps out there, but many more good ones, and as the number increases, even better. Been that way with PC freeware, and now Android.
Compare that to Apple's stranglehold on their app market ... which would you rather have?
One basic way to fight bad apps is simply to make your comments and rate it on the market! Take that time and we the EU's out there can whittle the bad dev's outta there.
