Yup. It's an unavoidable situation for any platform. Once you grow past a certain number, then you just can't sift everything by hand anymore. Rating systems, review sites, etc... it breeds a new market for such service.

I've got no numbers for Ovi, only the ones that you can see on the Maemo Downloads site.
And 100% of the 10M downloads were free app?
