It's a little sad no?

Freemium, and in store purchases. Low dollar value software with small functionality, and little cross hardware testing or support. 

I guess its because the main market has been phones. And the users of phones aren't exactly as a whole, discerning power users.

But when it comes to a more high end touch computing experience, one finds a lot lacking that could be better. Professional or tool software that isn't quite up to scratch. And yes, the title example, games - games could be amazing on touch devices - and if people were playing them on a tablet or bigger phone on their sofa or in bed, instead of bored at the bus stop, they might be willing to pay more dosh for it.

I'm happy to pay more for android software. But I guess for the market to respond to that, more people have to be willing to pay decent upfront money, and that requires higher demands. Unfortunately windows has the business sector more sown up. But with google docs apps coming native, that may change a little. 

IDK, its a rambly pointless pontification, but it does irk me the shape and form that the google play store currently takes - designed more or less to trick you into paying money for something that should be worth less, when I'd be happy to pay more for better.
