I wonder if there are there any figures on how many paid apps on the average iPhone compared to the average Andriod?
I didn't intend to pay for anything on my Android when I reluctantly got it as part of my internet / phone bundle 9 months back (I didn't want a smart phone, but price was the same with or without one). But after 6 months of using Swype, I found out it was a free trail, and at that point it was too difficult to go back to the normal keyboard. Likewise I am using Whatsapp a lot, and I think the first year is free, then its a small amount. Will still be cheaper than sending international texts to my mum, so I will pay the small price.
(I always find it amusing that this is the story I was told about how drug dealers operate when I was in school, free trail then once you are hooked bump up the price. Never hear of anyone get drugs like that in real life, but its completely common in the corporate world).
