15 minutes from purchase isn't fair, like others have mentioned some download times can exceed that. Now maybe 15 minutes after installation (if they could find a way to make it work) to me sounds a lot more reasonable. J think 15 minutes to try an app is plenty. If you don't have time to test it then just buy it later.
I wonder if these guys even tried contacting google CS. I bought an album for $2 on black Friday but didn't realize it was edited. I purchased the unedited one later on sale for $3 and figured I'd just cut my loses. Something didn't go right with the DL, because the new album was edited too. I contacted Google and explained that I originally intended to buy the unedited version in the first place, and they fixed the DL and refunded my money for the edited album months after I purchased it.

Ok this may or may not sound skeezy to some of yall. Heres what I do. I buy an app, I imediately Titanium Backup the App. Return it, try it out for an hour. If I like it, I go buy it again. If I dont I uninstall it then delete the Titanium Backup of it. Some apps this is not practical with.
Such as Modern Combat 3, because of the big download you have to do for it. Also some other apps that constantly check to see if you own rights to it. (although you can stick it in airplane mode and they work) So for me I use it as a try before you buy. However if you were dishonest you could be a jerk and not pay for the majority of apps.
One thing to think about if your a theif and are going to try this.... you can never get updates for the app!!
So be honest ppl

That doesn't sound like a good idea, I know of people who do that but if you purchase several apps it's quite the process. I can maybe see if you download it and for some reason you find out you can't test it out right away to do what you did, but for every app?
Well I'm guessing at this point it's more about the settlement they're hoping to get and less about the refund period...

As of March 5th, the return window doesn't begin until the added content has finished downloading (Source, second full paragraph). I still think 15 minutes is inadequate, whereas 30 minutes should be enough.
Here here, people are coddled too much in society as it is. Main point being, if it takes you longer than 15 minutes to figure out you don't want an app, you're a moron.
