Papermill launched on Android several weeks ago. Developed by Ryan Bateman and designed with the help of Matt Legaspi, the app is a beautiful Instapaper client for Android devices. Papermill received high praise from the community and widespread media coverage when it launched, and the developer has since broken down its success based on sales. The conclusions he draws about Android users in general are particularly interesting.
Bateman says that, “Android users not being willing to pay for an apps whose focus is quality and whose price reflects this.” Is this true only for the average Android user, or should the average iPhone user be considered as well?

The update, which brings the app to Version 2.6, adds the ability to watch movie trailers in HD as well as:
Imangi Studios and their hit game Temple Run managed to grab over 5 million downloads in just over a week on Android — a number I’m betting many Temple Run users still haven’t scored. There’s no denying its popularity and it’s certainly well deserved. Temple run is fun, addicting, and best of all it’s free! I don’t think I’ve managed to go a day without at least playing a couple games myself, and my kids — forget about it! The initial release did have a few bugs but Imangi was able to quickly patch those up and things seems to be running quite smoothly now.
