| famousringo said: Just thought I'd point out that the App store sells to iPod Touch owners as well as iPhone owners, unless I'm mistaken. So your software attach rates get even more complicated. How many Touches have sold? How many have the right system software? It costs $10 last I heard, is that counted among the paid App Store downloads? I've gotta hand it to Apple, I don't think many people expected the iPhone to perform like this. |
That's a good point, though I don't have any information about the number of iPod Touches upgraded to the 2.0 OS. I myself have both the iPhone 3G and an iPod Touch which I'll give to my wife now, but since the Touch only has Wi-Fi and no GPS, camera, speakers or built-in mic, a lot of the cool apps won't be so cool on it. So I expect the overwhelming majority of the apps to be made solely for the iPhone, and that whould be reflected on the sales as well. But then again, for games the connectivity and other stuff is not that important, so maybe the Touch owners will want them and upgrade in numbers, who knows. Anyway, since the upgrade is not free, and has been available for so little time, I don't think the attach rates are that much off for now anyway.
