I created a poll if you too are interested please vote on this poll http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1571592 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1571592 or heck create your own and get it to the front page. Im very interested in this data as a iPhone and a possible Android developer.
- paul9290 16y agoThanks for voting. Just by the small sample thus far. We have 5 voted as frequent iPhone app buyers vs. 0 frequent Android app buyers, while 5 Android never bought an app before. Overall this maybe way too small of a sampling, but maybe not? Appreciate the votes and continued votes. Would be great to get a huge sampling. thnx
- elblanco 16y agoThe analogy of iPhone:Android::Mac:PC really holds on this front. Everytime I use my MBP I can't help but feel I get nickle and dimed for little necessary utility apps just to get things done (want to change the acceleration curve on your mouse? That's $20!) -- things that would normally be free in Windows land are $5-$20 in Mac land. On my Windows XP and 7 PCs I can usually get 95% of what I need at $0. The open ecosystem simply fosters a cheaper price point, which is good in some ways for consumers (but bad in other ways) -- but not so great for entrepreneurs.
