So, finally, we have Android Market on our emulators. Now, since it is possible, a developer can create any number of emulators with the android market on it, and login to different google accounts, and try to increase his app's ratings.
This is actually too dangerous. Google doesn't discriminate requests from market apps on such emulators, and still accepts ratings and reviews. I don't know how Google can now stop this, since, everybody and anybody can now have access to the market place from his emulator.
But, I am happy, :)
Till Google takes any steps to curb this backdoor entry through the emulators, we can obviously expect some of those comments/reviews on the apps to be just spam. :(
Google market has got to do something to stop this, and probably they will.
