So nothing short of a exhaustive manual review process will save the Android Market?

I'm not convinced it will catch everything if these hackers are as sophisticated as you say. Will they also hold all apps for 90 days in case a trojan is dormant in them for 90 days?

I predict Google won't do it unless they can automate it, as they are not good with manual stuff.

But I can also predict a message to the effect of "This software is by developer Droid09. If you do not trust this developer, do not continue install" to start showing up so Google can further escape responsibility.
That's where it has gone on Windows.

But you could be right, and Google could agree and become a closed system like IPhone. Just because it would suck for developers to wait six months to publish apps in the Market doesn't mean it won't happen.
