Distimo was founded to solve the challenges created by a widely fragmented app store marketplace filled

with equally fragmented information and statistics.

Distimo was launched shortly after the introduction of the first app store. App stores have clearly shown

since that time that they are the way forward for content distribution. The app store model offers an

enormous opportunity for developers to get their content out and dramatically improves content discovery

by consumers. However, the mobile market has long been characterized by fragmentation, which is

also displayed in the wide range of mobile application stores that were launched from 2009 on.

Distimo is a privately held company based in Utrecht, The Netherlands. Learn more: www.distimo.com

This publication covers the Apple App Store for iPad, the Apple App Store for iPhone,

BlackBerry App World, Google Android Market, Nokia Ovi Store, Palm App Catalog,

Windows Marketplace for Mobile (6.x), and Windows Phone 7 Marketplace during January

2011. The major findings are:

•  Two app stores are clearly ahead of the other app stores in terms of growth rates

in January 2011: Windows Phone 7 Marketplace (30%) and Google Android Market

(18%). However, the evolution of both stores is very different, and will be examined

in more detail in this report.

•  The overlap of applications between countries is over 97% for all countries in both

the Google Android Market and Windows Phone 7 Marketplace. However, if we look

at the 100 most popular applications only, the overlap between countries is much

lower in Microsoft’s store than in Android Market, indicating that it is much easier

for consumers to find locally popular content in the Windows Phone 7 Marketplace

than in the Google Android Market.

•  Google Android Market is the only store that has more free than paid applications,

and the proportion of free applications increased again in January.

•  Windows Phone 7 Marketplace has already attracted some of the largest cross-store

publishers, but it still has a long way to go to attract the same number of cross-store

publishers as the Google Android Market or the Apple App Store.

The Google Android Market and Windows Phone 7 Marketplace are the two stores with

the highest growth rates in January. In this report, we will compare these two stores and

examine differences and similarities in their evolution.

Looking at the growth, we see that the number of paid applications increased by 1,027

in Windows Phone 7 Marketplace while the number free applications increased by 576.

The Google Android Market is known for the large proportion of free applications in

the store, and is the only store that has more free than paid applications, with 63% of

all applications being free. This trend did not change in favor of paid applications in

January, as the number of free applications increased by 16,150 and paid applications

increased by 6,847.

The distribution of applications across countries is very similar for the Google Android

Market and Windows Phone 7 Marketplace when looking at all applications available.

The proportion of identical applications available in both countries is always over 97%

in both the Google Android Market and Windows Phone 7 Marketplace when comparing

two countries, regardless of the countries being compared. However, when comparing

the overlap of top applications only, a large difference between the Google Android

Market and Windows Phone 7 Marketplace can be observed.

The overlap between the 100 most popular applications of two countries is close to

100% in nearly all of the countries in the Google Android Market, as can be seen in

the matrix. The most notable exception is the United States, where the overlap with

other countries is significantly lower. The Pandora Radio and T-Mobile My Account

applications mentioned in the top lists of this report are two examples of applications

that are popular in the United States only.

The matrix of the most popular application overlap in Windows Phone 7 however,

shows a much more localized picture of the market. Comparatively, all countries have

an overlap between 44% and 69%. This shows that it is much easier for consumers to

find locally popular content in the Windows Phone 7 Marketplace than in the Google

Android Market.

This graph provides additional insight into the 200 most popular publishers that

publish to at least two different application stores. Of these cross-store developers,

147 published at least one application in the Google Android Market, and 57 of the

200 most popular cross-store publishers published applications in the Windows Phone

7 Marketplace. While this figure is much lower than the number of top cross-store

publishers in the Apple App Store or Google Android Market, it is comparable to the

other stores that have existed for much longer.

Windows Phone 7 is clearly already a platform that large developers are watching closely.

The following page includes a list of the ten most popular cross-store publishers, and

the number of applications they distributed in different stores.

Distimo was founded to solve the challenges created by a widely fragmented app store

marketplace filled with equally fragmented information and statistics.

Distimo was launched shortly after the introduction of the first app store. App stores

have clearly shown since that time that they are the way forward for content distribution.

The app store model offers an enormous opportunity for developers to get their content

out and dramatically improves content discovery by consumers. However, the mobile

market has long been characterized by fragmentation, which id also displayed in the

wide range of mobile application stores that were launched from 2009 on.

Distimo is a privately held company based in Utrecht, The Netherlands. Learn more:
