@Mike Harsh:well Mike, you know i got that from you. I am sure Jeff is _very_ happy i titled this piece that way too. We all miss you very much over here in phone land.
@Mark Rogers:i understand where you are coming from; certification does have its costs for the developer.
For us, though there are two sides. (1) It's about providing end users some reasonable expectation of a certain level of quality, and (2) when users have a reasonable expectation of a certain level of quality, we think they are more likely to download and purchase apps, which is better for developers.
We don't want to impact developers though. We're trying to walk a middle line; providing users some reasonable expectation of a certain level of quality, BUT ALSO giving developers very clear guidance and transparency into the process, and making the process as seamless and quick as possible.
These are our goals; we're working very hard to drive to a process that is as painless as possible.
