At some point, we'll all have to stop binging on discounted apps
and start being reflective - and that's when Distimo's 2011 'App Year
in Review' report can serve as a nice digestive. Alongside some
predictable trends, such as an impressive 400 percent surge in available
Windows Phone apps, it also reveals a few interesting stats about the
market leader. iPhone app
downloads in the US "have been declining for nearly the entire year," it says, although there was big
spike
following the launch of the 4S. Regardless of volume, however,
top-grossing iPhone apps still made four times as much money as the
Android Market's premium performers. By the same measure, even iPad apps
on their own generated twice as many dollars. Is this a tale of quality
over quantity, or are
Android apps
simply better value? We'll decide when we're less queasy, and in the
meantime there's a fuller summary of the report at the source link -
though you'll have to register to view it.
