I think Scoble's "The bar is low" is better expressed as the fact that it's an undeveloped market. Whether or not there is a gold-rush for this app store remains to be seen, but his other points still remain valid. By using the builtin APIs it's difficult to get a view to scroll smoothly, whereas with the iPhone it's in every scroll view. And yes, statistically I believe that the type of geeks attracted to Android are stingy, but there are other people on the platform as well (I don't have any actual percentages).
