This is one area where Android wins hands down - you have 48 hours to
uninstall any app and be refunded - Apple looks like they are at least
starting to move towards something like that

Sent to you by Bill Boulware via Google Reader: Apple opens "Try Before
You Buy" section in App Store, Step to fight app piracy via 9 to 5 Mac

Apple seems to be adding to and changing up their App Store's featured
sections quite frequently. Today Apple added a new section dedicated to
promoting free applications on the App Store. One of the subsections of
this new feature is "Try Before You Buy." This section features many of
the popular "free" or "lite" editions of apps, but the section title is
what makes this all interesting.

There is a common phrase going around when it comes to app piracy, and
that is "trying before buying." Many people claim they pirate apps to
do just that and claim Apple does not offer app trials. Well, Apple and
others feel that's false due to the multitude of "lite" editions on the
App Store. Apple pushes that belief with this new section as they are
promoting "trying before buying" without pirating.
