Apps have become very popular in the last years, and especially with the release of Apple’s iPhone and the Android operating system. Developers have options to create free or paid applications. A report published last week by Distimo outlined some interesting differences between iPhone, Android and other app marketplaces.

The company researched the proportion of free vs paid apps in the following marketplaces: Apple Store iPad, iPhone and Universal, Blackberry App World, Google Android Market, Nokia Ovi Store, Palm App Catalog and Windows Marketplace.

The Google Android Market is the only app marketplace with a higher proportion of free applications, 57% versus 43% paid applications followed by the Palm App Catalog with 34% and all other marketplaces between 22% and 28%.

Now, this does not say anything about the absolute numbers of free applications in each marketplace. A marketplace with lots of applications might still offer more apps than a marketplace with a higher proportion but a lower selection of total apps.

What’s the main reason for this large proportion of free apps on Android marketplace? Probably the fact that it is an open platform:

Since Android is an open platform, which anyone can develop for, you see a lot more open source apps, which in general are free. So since you don’t have to pay to develop apps, developers are more willing to give away their apps with Android than with Apple.

The researchers have analysed average app prices as well. Blackberry apps lead that chart with $6.97 on average followed by Windows Marketplace with an average price of $5.96 per app. Android apps average at $3.29, iPhone at $4.01 and iPad at $4.65.

Steve Jobs appeared on News Corp’s D8 conference and answered surprisingly probing questions with relative openness. He talked about burning issues such as flash, app approval, Google’s competition, Siri acquisition, the whole iPhone at the bar incident, AT&T and more. If that topic list doesn’t tell you already, this interview of Steve is definitely one of the most revealing ones of recent times.

The wonderful folks at Patently Apple have done it again — they have uncovered a patent that could very well be seen in the next version of the iPhone that likely to be out in about a month or two from now. This new patent, granted as late as April 1, 2010 (hold those jokes), points towards a level of Facebook integration on the iPhone like never before.

Ever since the first iPhone was launched and the AT&T exclusivity deal was struck in the US in 2007, people have wanted to know the details of this confidential contract. As it turns out, the secret is out and the duration seems to be an astounding five years. This claim is supported by old court documents related with the contract. But if that is true, then all the rumors about the Verizon CDMA iPhone coming this fall must be false. And there’s another bind to this — Apple seems to have submitted a brief in 2008 that cites an USA Today article from March 23 2008 which also says that Apple has a 5-year contract.

Looks like Apple made yet another key acquisition just before April gave way to May. Apple has officially acquired Siri and has officially kept its mouth shut about what the company intends to do with the company. So that leaves us to go through all the possible reasons why Apple did this. And while it may seem like they did it for the obvious reason, i.e. voice, let me begin by tell you that things are never that simple.
