After looking through these results I find it hard to believe. I am going to have to do some research on my own to determine the truth to this. What do you guys think do these results seem accurate?

    What exactly is surprising? For me the two interesting points are that the pricing on Ovi and the App Store are so similar. Also *very* interesting is the huge disparity in price when the free apps are included on the Android Marketplace. This must mean a very, very high ratio of free apps. Interesting.

    The pricing between the App Store and the Ovi Store are what surprised me. In my experience the Ovi Store always seemed more expensive with almost all apps. It was one of my major complaints when it initially launched. The developers seemed to be greedy and feel their apps were worth much more than they actually are. Examples of this include charging 4.99+ for themes or audio files.

    The Android Marketplace is packed full of free application. I don't know the percentage off of the top of my head but I know its well over %50 which compared to other stores is extremely high.
