Pricing in Apple App Store: no country is the same Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009 Currently, the prices for paid applications in the Apple App Store are highly fluctuating. Developers seem to be in search for the best pricepoint for their application and experiment to find out what works best. The content in the Apple App Store is also very country specific. We made an overview of the total price of the 100 most popular paid applications in a selection of countries: Price of the total top 100, per country Total price of the paid top 100, per country * based on daily exchange rate There are large differences between countries. In Europe, the top 100 total price varies from €199 in Greece, up to €252 in Portugal. A difference of over 25%. The United States price is even lower, but greatly affected by the Dollar - Euro exchange rate. The content of the App Store varies per country; not the same applications find their way into the top listings in different countries. This has a big impact on the total price of the apps per country app store. We will keep track of these developments. More detailed info on country specific developments is available in our monthly Distimo Report. Tags: Apple App Store, paid applications Posted in Apple App Store | No Comments »

The T-Mobile G1 is showing up in the hands of those who pre-ordered one this week (mine is schedule for Tuesday arrival) and I have been seeing new applications appearing in the Android Market almost daily on my review unit. There are still a very limited number of games and I think only one or two were added since I started my review.

Erica Sadun might know more about the iPhone than anyone outside of Apple. I guess this shouldn't be a surprise, she's got a Doctorate in Computer Science from Georgia Tech so she's pretty smart.

Big question is whether new CDMA iPhones will be part of June WWDC keynote slate Apple will introduce the next iPhone on June 6, an analyst said today.

Sitting in a computer lab at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, the 22-year-old taps away at his iPhone's glassy touch screen, testing the software applications, or apps, he wrote for the device.
