That is a good point - I'd like to actual before & after prices as well.

What I personally find most interesting is what this means about the difference between Android customers and iPhone customers in terms of price sensitivity. It may be strategic to price the same app differently across different platforms in some cases if possible.

Depending on the app, that's worth considering. More people need to understand that the iPhone and Android markets are, for the most part, completely different.

In most cases, iPhone users are paying a premium for their device and probably expect much the same for the apps. On the other hand, with a huge range of entry for the Android ecosystem, expectations for apps will have a similar range.

For example, I have a cheapo Android phone because it suits my needs and has no contract. I have never bought an app for it. I have a Galaxy Tab 2 7" and have bought several apps for it. The problem is how can developers know this so they can market to me for their benefit. But then my buying habits may not reflect the market in general.

It's a tough nut to crack.
