Research: Androidâs Big Lead Over Apple In Free Apps
,----[ Quote ]
| The latest numbers from mobile app store
| monitor Distimo show major differences in
| appsâ prices in Googleâs Android Market
| and Appleâs App Store. While the majority
| of apps on the Android Market are free,
| only about a quarter on the App Store are.
| Advantage Android or advantage App Store?
| Debatable. Consumers might prefer free
| apps, but developers want a marketplace
| where itâs commonplace to charge.
|
| Some possible explanations for the
| discrepancy, according to Distimo:
| Currently, only developers in a fraction
| of the countries where Android is
| available can distribute paid apps on the
| platform. Only users from select countries
| can buy them. And users have to sign up
| for a Google (NSDQ: GOOG) Checkout account
| to buy an Android app.

Here come the new Yahoo! Android apps
,----[ Quote ]
| According to recent reports the Android
| operating system has an impressive 19.9%
| share of the US mobile web market. That's
| still some way behind Apple iOS on 58.8%
| but the iPhone has been around for a lot
| longer. It should come as no surprise,
| then, that Yahoo! wants to get a piece of
| that Android action. Which is why it has
| now announced the continuing expansion of
| its reach with the immediate availability
| of Yahoo! Mail and Yahoo! Messenger apps
| plus a Yahoo! Search Widget for Android.
