Alternative Android Market To House Banned Apps 114
sl4shd0rk writes "In contrast to the Apple's iron-fisted control over their App store, the Android Market is much more open. Google does, on occasion, remove apps it deems inappropriate, such as emulators, legally-questionable music services, tethering apps and one-click root apps. But if Koushik Dutta of CyanogenMod fame has his way, these heretic apps may have a home after all. Dutta plans an 'underground' Android Market complete with an approval process to weed out malicious applications; something Google doesn't do. Ideally, this will give Android users a more trustable source from which to get applications without having to resort to dictatorial software control."

I'd happily use this, maybe even pay for apps if they meet a need well enough.
Steady now. Don't be rash. 99c is a lot of money to an Android user.

In keeping with the theme, I propose that the next version be called "Creampie."
