Analyst surveys developers post-keynote.

 

Piper Jaffray analyst, Gene Musnter chatted with 20 Apple developers after Monday's keynote address.

 

Gene learned that of the 20 developers he spoke to, 50% attended to develop exclusivley for the iPhone/iPod touch, 50% we're developing "Enterprise apps." While 70% had written applications for other mobile platforms.

 

With regard to app pricing, 71% of the apps would be free, with the average paid app price to be $2.29.

 

These numbers are nice, but can 20 developers out of 5,200 be any real indication of the developer community's plans for the iPhone/iPod touch?
