New and noteworthy:

  1. On the Apple App Store, Navigation & Travel and Social Networking apps were more popular than on Android Market, while on Android Entertainment and News & Weather applications were more popular.
  2. The overlap between countries is higher for Android Market than for Apple App Store: in the Apple App Store the available content varies more per individual country.
  3. The higher total price of Apple’s Top 100 Reference category was mainly caused by the higher amount of apps priced higher than $20. Android Market had relatively many applications priced between $4 and $10 in this category.
  4. The average price of an app in Apple’s Overall Top 100 was $2.92, compared to $4.16 in Apple’s Reference category.

The UK report was covered by TechCrunch Europe.
