What I mean by this is that a large portion of why many companies have not switched away from Microsoft based operating systems is because the applications they use are only available for Windows; and even if you can get them for Linux or Mac they’re expensive to replace. With Apple it seems like most of the Apps on the App-Store are also available for Android based phones and the Blackberry, and the cost per application is very small, which means that if Apple started to see significant declines in competitiveness there isn’t much to prevent their sales from declining. |
This could be a good part of the reason why the iPad app prices were a little higher. If the library of apps and such were in the order of $50-100 for an average user thats quite a bit of hassle/money lock in relative to the price of a replacement item.
Tease.
