One of the biggest problems that iPhone developers and users have had with the iPhone Apps store is the amount of restrictions that Apple has been placing on it. Android project head Andy Rubin says that won't be the case with the Android Market when it launches, offering the concrete example that unlike iPhone Apps, users will be allowed to sample applications before they buy them.   

Market may be slightly less friendly to totally free applications however, as developers will be asked to pay $2 a month on free applications that eat up more then 15MB of bandwidth.

No word yet if like iPhone Apps, Google's Market will also ban applications that have "PG-13" or "R" rated content... the wringle personally I think is most important.

If Market is willing to service a segment of the um, market, Apps is turning it's back on, that could help Android Market find it's niche.
