Android catching up with iPhone on paid apps

Were free apps with in-app purchases to unlock content were counted as paid or free apps?

I believe the reason is that with the massive abundance of free apps for almost anything, Android users are starting to want to find the cream of the crap. Paid apps appear to have a higher quality and thus users will shell out that 99cents for something that works than go through 5 apps for something that doesn’t quite work.

Easier to buy apps with Google Checkout now, once I´ve set up my account, I just have to click buy. It used to be a bit of a pain.

Ad´s are annoying and users would rather pay a $ to get rid.

They aren´t that expensive, more than just kids are getting Android phones and are learning how to use them and buy with them.

App´s are really not that expensive and people are realising they are pay for an app that is less than a drink.

Problem is for developers now, the market dictates $3 is how much app´s are at most, problem is, companies need to sell a lot of them to make any money.

But then you have the issue of Dead Trigger and piracy.
