    Default Market price variations?

    Anyone notice that the different markets have different prices?

    For example, I was looking at getting "Business Calendar"
    (I am kicking myself that I missed the Amazon free app offer for it)

    Amazon has it for $4.99.
    AppBrain is $5.51
    Android Market is $5.93.

    I guess like just buying apples, you gotta shop around.
    We'll both get 500mb free on top of 5gig signup bonus and a new Android app is out:

    Amazon will raise and lower prices of their apps based on algorithms they use to increase sales/revenue for the developer. They purport to never list it higher than the lowest price the same app is sold for on any other market. Though I have never bothered to vet that claim myself.

    It's odd that AppBrain showed a different price from Android Market though, as AppBrain is really nothing but a portal to the Android Market itself, and not a market in it's own right.
