The average iPad app in the Apple App Store be $ 4.67 vs. $ 3.87 for the middling iPhone app , harmonize to raw enquiry from apps watcher Distimo .
That should lend up to a lot of iPad app revenue given that Apple says it has deal more than 1 million iPads since they became available a month ago and that users have download more than 12 million apps . Apple says there are 200,000 - plus apps in its App Store , most make before the iPad get but most of which also will run on the iPad .
The number of iPad apps is exploding , up about 33 pct over the past two week alone , according to Distimo .
Distimo , base in the Netherlands , says that 80 percentage of the 4,870 iPad apps in the App Store are paid , rather than free program ( Apple says more than 5,000 iPad apps have been built ) . That compare to 73 percent for the iPhone .
About one third of iPad apps are games , with entertainment and book apps also proving democratic , accord toDistimo .
The priciest iPad apps are those for aesculapian and financial applications , be an norm of $ 42.11 and $ 18.48 , respectively . That ’s right smart higher than comparable iPhone medical and fiscal apps , which sell for an norm of $ 10.74 and $ 5.74 , respectively .
former recapitulation of iPad apps have foreground both themost usefulandmost useless . Overall , iPad reviews themselves have been positive , though wish lists keep growing , with some hoping for improvements in file management and lawful multitasking .
Still , there ’s no slowdown in sight for the iPad , with the new3 G manakin go on cut-rate sale over the weekendand already racking up 300,000 sale , harmonise to a Piper Jaffray analyst .
One signal that the iPad has really made it already is that hack have start targeting some iPad user with bogus update message that download malicious codification onto Windows PCs .
What ’s more , the iPad ’s early successes have thrown the overall tablet market into a tizzy , withMicrosoft confirm the shelving of its planned Courier tabletand rumors swirl around what HP will do with the Slate tablet now that it is buying Palm and gaining memory access to WebOS .
It looks like the only thing that might slow down Apple ’s iPad and iPhone app successes is if theFederal Trade Commission or Department of Justice step into curtail the company ’s approach to allowing or veto certain character of apps ( i.e. , those using Flash ) .
