The Android market offers free trials to customers. Whereas in the App Store you have the LITE version as an option. So trying something before buying it will depend on the dev.  Now that’s a much better idea than Apple’s LITE mode from two points of views:

1.    The developers: As many developers will tell you, lack of a free version is a dampener on their sales. Certainly, all of us likes to have the “try before buy” option. But does a “Store” allow that? Or is a “Market” a better place for that? Certainly Google thinks that a “Market” is a better place. So stop and try before you shop and buy at the Android market. And any honest developer wants to showcase their products and tease the consumer into buying it.
2.   The end-user: From the end users’ point of view, you have this complaint from many people who’ve just bought something, going by the screenshots, customer reviews and app description. And paid the price for it.

Not everyone was complaining about this lack of free trial though. Remember the “I Am Rich” app that just went to the App Store folklore for its insane duping capabilities?
