Fair enough, calling Google hypocritical was reactionary on my part.
In my memories of Google's introduction of the Android Market, they seemed to play-up the "no review period" as an advantage over the App Store. I think there has been some mixed messaging from Google over the years — they extol openness and developer freedoms, but clearly enforce terms of service where it counts.
Perhaps it's not hypocritical, but at times it feels like there are two Googles.
