The ASP of iOS apps is ~$0.24 (asymco). What is the ASP of Android apps?
I look at those charts and think "Buy AAPL". Seriously: if the horrible, dreaded, Android "winning", second-place future for Apple is continued exponential growth then they're tremendously undervalued.
I'd like to see a separate chart of paid download comparisons. My bet is iOS dwarfs Android where it counts.
Probably because there are more free or ad-supported apps on Android then on iOS ;)
It's like 2/3 of Android apps are free, where as only 1/3 of iOS apps are free: https://www.mylookout.com/appgenome/

iphone lost against android in every conceivable category, and you suggest one more and you will see ios or iwhatever will lose again.
for how long ?
I don't see Android overtaking iOS paid downloads anytime soon. The customer core is much different (I'm talking average Joe) and the Android market is a cluster... for many reasons.
This might change with the Kindle Fire though, and I actually expect that market to grow very quickly. Question is, does that count?
