^ That may be but IMO that's a terrible option.

The point of a mobile app store is to make ease of downloads to your phone. Having to double check whether or not an app is a solid application that doesn't do anything it's not supposed to just complicates the ease of downloads.

It would be nice to have Google at least have some support for their application store in so far as doing a bit of overseeing of some of the applications loading into the Android app store because in the end the consumer is not going to blame the developer for a crappy application, they're going to point to Android in most cases. (I've already seen it to a certain extent, since there's a few task killers out in the app store that kill critical system process causing system instability, and the blame unfortunately ends up being placed on Android)

Really it's not that the Apple App store has less shovelware, it's that there's more quality applications from companies versus basement developers, something that I hope will change as Android gains more market.
