Distimo and Skyhook Wireless have teamed up for a new report to show how location-based apps perform across mobile application stores. Without further ado, here are the highlights for November:
- Apple’s AppStore has the largest proportion of paid location-based applications (57%) with Blackberry second (49%) and Google’s Android Market third (21%).
- The average prices of Maps & Navigations applications on Blackberry’s App World decreased from $16.13 in September to $13.74 (-14.8%) in November, while the average prices on Apple’s AppStore and Google’s Android Market remained fairly stable despite Google’s release of Google Maps Navigation as a free product.
- The average price of location-based apps on Blackberry’s App World is about twice as high as on the Apple AppStore – $14.37 compared to $7.34.
- Besides the Navigation and Travel categories, most location-based applications are published in News & Weather and Social, such as AccuWeather, foursquare and Loopt.
