The average price of location-aware mobile applications available for download from the Blackberry App World storefront is $13.60, compared to $3.60 in Apple\'s App Store and $0.84 in Google's Android Marketplace, according to Skyhook Wireless.
Skyhook reports that the App Store boasts the largest number of location-based apps at more than 2,300, 75% of which are premium services - 67% of BlackBerry LBS apps are paid while 80% of Android LBS apps are free.
After standardizing application types across all three app stores, Skyhook finds there are now 17 different types of apps that use location, including travel, navigation, social networking, lifestyle, public transportation and sports/fitness.
