Top Android Apps (or "why is there so much garbage on the Android Market?")

I'm not really familiar with Android, but one look at that site suggests that it's not an official Google property. So looking at the most viewed apps on a single day for this obscure(?) site might just be skewing things somewhat.

The apps listed here seem a bit more "respectable": http://www.android.com/market/

agreed, and where does androlib get it's numbers?

I went to http://androlib.com, and their 'currently viewed' shows a much better group of apps (caller id, task manager, flight status, inclinometer, podcast).

If you're looking at non-official sources, it appears http://www.androidapps.com/?__utma=1.956696379.1274210202.12...

is a better result (top 10 on the right hand side)

Last night I was browsing the/an android marketplace and I have to say that from the screenshots most apps looked pretty horrible on the surface. And yes, aesthetics matter to me.
