Digital download providers will let you return products as there is no 'opening' and DRM is attached, somewhat similar to our app markets today. Returning an opened PC game to a store is completely different as it generally comes with a license key that you could have written down.

Just got the update this morning (which also installs Slacker…gee..thanks). I played around with the store for a few minutes and I doubt I'll ever fire it up again. The interface makes the Android Market look like a human-machine symbiotic revolution. As mentioned above its slowness will bring you to tears. There are very few free apps (a CNN reader was 99 cents…you have got to be kidding me). For the few paid apps that may be useful, there is no free trial counterpart as offered on the Marketplace. Most of the utilities and productivity tools available now are joke-ware…I understand they hope to add more offerings but there are very, very few apps there now. Did I mention it takes five seconds to open up a list of 4 apps? Search function provides no hints on the fly.

Hopefully people won't be attracted to this store just because it offers carrier billing, because with this second-rate software Verizon does not deserve a slice of the app market.

you dont, they just want you to think you do and already, we can even see above that apps in the real Market are not shown in theirs

Sure, if iTunes is your ideal shop. On the Android Market on the other hand, you can return apps you don't like and get full refund. That's what Verizon is competing with, not iTunes.

Actually in itunes you can return things but only if you talk to a nice rep and you only have one try because you can't click the I have an issue button twice

How much money has Android brought to Verizon?..yet Big Red always has their hand out don't they? The first time in 10+ years I ever felt like I wasn't paying too much to these guys was yesterday when I made 4 phone calls to get $60 off my bill (Thanks Droid-Life!). Im curious how bad I just F'd myself though when LTE is released and I set up my first “4G” phone.

uhh yeah, BUT at least in iTunes you have the ability to listen to 30+ second of every song before you buy it

Portability if I switch carriers? What about if I just switch phones?

This just brings back bad memories of re-purchasing Bejeweled every time my wife got a new phone.
