In semi-related news it is reported that iPad apps will cost more than iPhone and iPod Touch apps, but given the pretty intense price competition the app store has already displayed, what might start off at a higher price today could easily be at a lower price tomorrow.

 

The iPhone app store already has apps at far keener prices than seen on competing app platforms such as the Nokia Ovi store or various Windows Mobile stores, and judging by the number of apps and the volume of developers that have flocked to Apple's platform, it's clear that such competition has only increased the number of apps on the Apple app store, and despite lots of quantity, has increased the quality, as well.

Apple's app store is the store to be in right now, whether it's the iPhone or the iPad, and while competitors slowly catch up, it's clear to see where the current momentum lies.

All I can say is... long live competition, and may everyone's app stores grow!
