Percent Free Vs Paid Apps?
Android has the highest percent of Free apps, with more than half of it’s applications being Free. Palm has the Second highest, and Apple is third with a quarter of it’s apps being free.
What about App Pricing?
Apps from Apple, Android, and Ovi are about the same average price, but RIM and Microsoft are surprisingly more than twice as expensive on average. Ouch! Shopping at them would hurt your credit card bill.
