In case you missed it at the beginning of the month (yeah, yeah, we’re catching up quick as we can) there’s a fascinating update over at O’Reilly Radar on the first five months of the App Store. Definitely worth just clicking over there and reading the whole thing yourself, but here’s a couple quick highlights as of the end of November:
- About 9,800 unique applications, 22% of which are free;
- Sale prices of Top 100 apps continue to decline, currently average $2.60 and median $1.25 or so;
- Games and Entertainment continue to dominate the listings
Some excellent graphs on percentage by price point, free/paid share by category, etc. to be seen there as well, so we’ll just repeat our advice to go read the whole thing.
And hey, here’s your brain teaser for the day, since we’ve got all these cool trip pictures to share: Where was this shot taken last week? Hint: It was used as the Massassi Outpost on the fourth moon of Yavin in a little movie you might have heard of, name of Star Wars.
Gimme hint: It’s in Guatemala. You can figure it out from there, I’m sure.
