Can app development really be a good fastlane method anymore?

[bmarone]

After frequenting the android market for apps recently, it seems that many apps are offered for free, and the ones that aren't don't seem to be tremendously popular. This might be a mild discouragement for me, as app design was my chosen business system for the fastlane. If people are earning significant incomes with apps, then what might be their chosen method of distribution/marketing the apps, unless there are other factors besides distribution to consider?
Thanks for any info.
