Geographic and pricing info ahoy.
Distimo's latest mobile apps report provides more information on who's making Android applications, and how their pricing varies between regions, and compares to other smartphones.
The report claims that 65% of Android developers are in the US, with 20% in Europe, 12% in the UK, and 3% in Japan.
Distimo has also identified differences in the average price of Android apps published in those regions. Europeans are paying $4.42, while it's $3.31 in the UK, $2.96 in the US and $2.28 in Japan.
The report also compared average application prices globally for the big app stores. Android was the lowest with $3.27, although Nokia's Ovi Store ($3.47) and iPhone's App Store ($3.62) weren't much higher.
However, on Windows Marketplace for Mobile and BlackBerry App World, it's a different story. The average price for a WinMo app is $6.99 according to Distimo's research, while for BlackBerry it's $8.26.
