Here's my experience:

I thought that the Verizon store sounded like a good idea so I went
though the painful process of putting one of my apps up there in order
to test the water.  From what I can tell the app is published, but I
have registered exactly zero sales.  This app sells about 10-20 copies
per day on the Android Market.

Now that Google is finally putting a little effort into improving the
Market, I think I'll just stick  with them for now.  One humble
request: Please Google, for the love of God abolish the ridiculous 325
char limit!

It is disappointing that my Android sales are still a fraction of my
Apple sales for what is basically the same app.  You'd think that with
300000 new devices per day there would be some growth, but sales have
been flat for the past several months.  My app is in the top 5-10 for
its category so it sells ok, but where is the growth?
