We just came across the latest Distimo report, which they produced in collaboration with Skyhook Wireless. The report focuses on location based apps. We have been talking about location before on this blog and the report seems to verify a lot of the assumptions we made. These are some key findings:

• The largest proportion of paid location based applications (57%) can be found on the Apple App Store – Blackberry is at 49% and Anroid at 21%. More than 50% is quite a large percentage considering the amount of apps on the App Store.
• Prices for Maps & Navigation remain stable, despite the launch of Google Maps Navigation, which is free.
• The average price of location based applications on the Apple App Store is $7.34 – it’s at $14.37 on BlackBerry App World.
• The most location based apps are published in the Navigation & Travel category, News & Weather as well as Social. What is interesting is that regarding the Social, Lifestyle and Utilities & Tools category, the most location based app are published on Android (relative to the overall number of apps in that category).

 
Have a look at the report – it is not extensive, but well worth a look. You can download it here.
