When I search for "Google tasks" in the Android Market, you're not on the first page of results. If you can't break in that way, and you don't have some spit-take inspiring new feature that would generate special press, you're simply going to get lost in the crowd.

Yep, I agree, being on the first page would certainly be helpful with people finding the app, but trying to game the keywords system CAN result in the app being suspended so I'd rather not risk it.
While the app doesn't have a revolutionary feature, the design & functionality are exceptional (from customer e-mails, not just my thoughts) and it does what it's meant to do, well, and the feedback I get from customers is overwhelmingly positive.
Another issue: Google still haven't made it possible to submit app reviews on Android tablets (you have to go to the Android Market website) and given this app is for tablets, it means users aren't writing reviews which would certainly be helpful.
