I just rolled across an interesting article. Which truly caught my eye, it was about the amount of SALES in the apple app store, and how they've declined this year. The article sited a rise in Microsoft and its availability of apps. Which was also stated was the difference in prices between ios and android apps. In terms of downloads i'm sure that android has more, but purchases yes ios and ill explain today why.
A while back, I'm not certain when, certain apps exclusive to ios began their ports over to the google branded os. Some of these popular apps are, Bakery story, and some of the well known swiping games that ios made infamous. Heres an example of apple making money on apps that gives them sales. Say 15,000,000 ios owners download all 3 versions of angry birds, of those 15,000,000 downloads 1 in 5 consumers purchase all 3 apps at 99 cents each, thats 15million dollars of profit...and of course rovio needs their cut...Now say 15,000,000 android owners download all 3 games...there is no purchase, thats just 45,000,000 downloads of maybe the most popular game on either platform. Now i chose angry birds because im 100% certain that this franchise is top 10 download on either platform.
Heres a breakdown for you ios is not an open sourced os, and android is. This is where google and android make their money, they done rely on one company to produce profit, google has way more than just android making money, so they don't have to attempt to turn profit off of as much as they can, actually as i type this post, the android market has a great sale on music 4.99 albums and 49 cent songs...not on music we don't care about, Its actually from top selling artists. Check out my twitter @crashcoursetech i have some screenshots uploaded of artists that are available for download. Even without this sale, full albums on the google market are 2 whole dollars cheaper than albums in itunes, now i understand you are paying for aac format in itunes, and now most likely paying to keep the cloud running, but i can see a boost in android SALES thanks to this nice deal, Even last week they had their 10 billion download mark, and a great amount of top apps were available for just a dime....which i know i scooped up quite a bit of these fire sale apps.
What will help the android market overtake the apple app store will be movie streaming and music. Books may not catch on with the nook color selling so well, but those little bit of sales will help every bit that they can. Androids new version 4.0 ice cream sandwich brings new funtionality and will open the app market and its apps. Consumers will enjoy, not just this refresh of android but this complete overhaul, it opens the app store to new things, google+ will definitely add a touch to what people begin to download. The galaxy nexus? Having internal memory makes music downloads almost a must have, there's no reason to have separate memory card for music and anything else...So apple here comes android.
