It's tough to make calls on approvals and disapprovals, although Apple is far too secretive on the process, hopefully that will improve since Microsoft's Mobile 6.5 store has an approval queue and tracking for developers.
I also think there should be a 'professional developer' section, where proven developers can have priority placement. I also like the Microsoft process of taking payments for apps (after the first 5), even free apps, because it may discourage some of the crap like "shaking the baby" and "iFart". There will still be plenty of crap, no doubt, but the discouragement of casual stupidity will help.
The App Store from Apple is still by far the leading mobile store, and will continue to be for a long time. With the Pre, G1 and WinMo 6.5 stores, hopefully we'll see a lot of improvements in all the stores, once they catch up. | :yeahthat:
Seriously, that would be great.

I'd post every app I love but I'd probably get flamed for spamming.. plus Apple doesn't pay me to advertise
