New and noteworthy:
- On the Apple App Store, Navigation & Travel and Social Networking apps were more popular than on Android Market, while on Android Entertainment and News & Weather applications were more popular.
- The overlap between countries is higher for Android Market than for Apple App Store: in the Apple App Store the available content varies more per individual country.
- The higher total price of Apple’s Top 100 Reference category was mainly caused by the higher amount of apps priced higher than $20. Android Market had relatively many applications priced between $4 and $10 in this category.
- The average price of an app in Apple’s Overall Top 100 was $2.92, compared to $4.16 in Apple’s Reference category.
The UK report was covered by TechCrunch Europe.
