Just like websites, viral effects play a major role for apps. Both people inviting people, as well as media outlets writing about you. That's how you get your stuff out there, in a market where there is huge long tail.

I agree, unfortunately getting published seems really difficult. I released a Mac app and wrote to every Mac publication I could find - probably 30 - and never received a single response. The app had/has some rough edges and could use some more polish, but it was fairly novel.
