  Try Ti.Platform.openURL('market://search?q=pname:com.package.name');

• I know this is an old thread, but we are using

  Ti.Platform.openURL('market://details?id='+Ti.App.id);
  

  to go directly to our app's listing using the Market app (not the web browser). The "search" method will search by name and is capable of showing multiple apps in a listing, but the "details" method goes straight to a single app.

• We had a requirement to launch the market from html in an Android webview and had problems with the link not working (works in a separate browser in app but not in webview).

  Problem was the webview was restricted and you can fix it natively be overriding something http://samstewartapps.com/blog/2010/10/12/open-the-android-market-from-an-app/

  Our workaround was to have a listener on beforeload and then do the right thing there e.g.,

      webview.addEventListener('beforeload', function(e){
          var url = e.url;
  
          //market links dont work in a webview without native override , see http://samstewartapps.com/blog/2010/10/12/open-the-android-market-from-an-app/
          //sooo we intercept it here  
          if (url.indexOf('market')!=-1){
              Ti.API.info('detected market link, launching');
              webview.stopLoading();
              webview.goBack();
              Titanium.Platform.openURL(url);
          }
      });
  

  Hope this helps someone!

• you can also make a "more apps" button with

  market://search?q=developername
