Skyhook partnered with Distimo this month on our App Store Report for some fresh insight on the iPhone, Android and BlackBerry App Stores.  We analyzed top ranked apps in the iPhone App Store, and all location-based apps on Android and BlackBerry.  Here are the highlights of the report, as reported from the intro page:

-The Apple App Store has the largest proportion of paid location based applications (57%), with BlackBerry coming second (49%) and Google Android Market third (21%).

-Prices of Maps & Navigation applications on BlackBerry App World decreased from $16.13 in September to $13.74 (-14.8%) in November, while the average prices on Apple App Store and Google Android Market remained fairly stable despite the announcement and introduction of free Google Maps Navigation.

-The average price of location based applications on BlackBerry App World is about twice as high as on the Apple App Store ($14.37 compared to $7.34).

-Besides the Navigation and Travel categories, most location based applications are published in News & Weather and Social, such as AccuWeather, foursquare and Loopt.

We should also note that Distimo released today a mobile app store called Appstore.info which houses information and apps from all available mobile app stores.  You can browse through apps from each store and discover all the latest stats.
