Hi,

Most of our apps are large in size and the installation/update get's
stuck during downloading/installing stage quite often. I even see the
problem on my phone, when I try to install my own app from the market
using WiFi connection. The similar thing happens when you try to
update more than one app at the same time.

We, too, suggest the same workaround to the users, where you clear
data/cache of the market app and try installing again. However, this
is a huge inconvenience for the users. Currently Market dashboard
doesn't report how many times the app is attempted to be installed and
resulted in failure. We get emails on a daily basis, but we believe
that majority of the users don't even report the problem.

Market is one major part that Android platform is lacking compared to
iPhone. I hope that they fix these issues as quickly as possible.

Cheers,


-Matt
