I am Canadian. Canada is in North America, which makes up approximately half of the Americas. Therefore I am American. I do not use Fahrenheit.
Fahrenheit is used in the United States of America, often referred to as 'The Unites States' or simply 'The US'. USian.

Celsius neatly boxes what water regularly experiences between the values 0 and 100 while managing to have the freezing point of water at 0.

See what I did there?

All over the place, really. The only thing I actually paid for in the Play store so far is Need For Speed: Most Wanted. It's a pretty awesome game, and $7. I just checked and it's the same in the App Store. That might be a reasonable price but don't developers get 100% of that on Android, unlike iOS apps where they only get 70%? You'd think they would make it a buck cheaper on Android to encourage people to make a switch to the platform with a higher profit margin.

I don't have any specific apps off the top of my head, but I was looking for something to control iTunes with and couldn't find anything under $5

You know, I'd always heard that too. I've been an iOS user since the iPhone 3G so I've bought my share of apps there and have a good feel for mobile app pricing. I was pretty surprised by the prices in the Google Play store when I bought a Nexus 7 last week. Often things I'd expect to pay $.99-$1.99 for in the App Store are $5-7.

I wonder if this is a new trend? Are they compensating for lower sales, or has the Android market changed recently?
