iPhone Beats Blackberry Prices on LBS Apps
Skyhook Wireless, developers of the XPS positioning system, is reporting that LBS (location based service) iPhone apps are, on average, four times less expensive than their Blackberry counterparts. Location-aware apps in the Blackberry App World average $13.60 a pop, while the average price of LBS apps in the iTunes App Store is only $3.60. While the two marketplaces are separate, and different pricing trends are to be expected, this kind of discrepancy might be enough to encourage some to consider changing teams.
