One of the comments I made in my previous post, was about the Android Marketplace being a mess.
I've since had a conversation with a colleague who has far greater experience of Android than I have.
It's not that the Marketplace is a mess, it's more a case that it's a true open-market. Anyone can submit applications, and then the rest of the community rates those applications and can flag up ones that are dodgy or malicious.
It's a case of buyer beware - either don't download something that hasn't been rated positively by a number of people, or be prepared to do your own testing.
Hopefully that clarifies things.
