Google: Android and Security
If the bouncer decides your app is malware, what happens? If the app gets kicked out of the market, that’s effectively an approval process. A reasonable one IMO, but it’s still an approval.

I’m still using discs so I haven’t really paid attention, but this data is really surprising (especially given all the complaints about piracy).
