Average iPad app price is $1 more than iPhone apps
Filed under: iPad Here’s some more interesting stats about app pricing. We’ve heard pricing average stats before, including that the average app price seems to be hovering right around three dollars . But a firm in the Netherlands has done some more research into current iPad and iPhone app prices, and discovered that while iPhone apps average out at $3.87 (slightly higher than most estimates, but still in that $3 range), iPad apps are actually hitting an average of $4.67, almost a dollar more than iPhone versions. That’s both good and bad news for developers — while it does mean that iPad apps are releasing and selling at higher prices (something most developers believe should be the case , given the amount of work and design that goes into iPad apps versus their smaller-screen cousins), those prices aren’t that much higher
Sikuli can automate any UI by taking screenshots
Filed under: OS , Software , Freeware This is pretty impressive –of course there are already lots of ways to automate actions on your Mac, and odds are that you may have messed around with scripting or Automator more than once before. But Sikuli is a new app that makes automating as simple as taking screenshots. Instead of programming actions, all you have to do is put screenshots of the particular UI items that you want to automate in a list, and then the app will use visual cues to do whatever you want it to do. Not only does it make things much easier when actually writing scripts, but it also gives you countless options in terms of automation — the app can automate any app that has a graphical user interface, because all it has to do is recognize that GUI on your screen. That includes web apps, too — like I said, the possibilities are endless.

Boxee Looks to Kill ‘Em with Content
Nearly 900 people RSVPd for the boxee meetup Tuesday at Webster Hall in NYC, where the “bleeding edge” media center platform is announcing brand new partnerships with Pandora, Radio Time and PBS, as well as a more robust API and a new XUL-based framework for the boxee browser that will enable easier interaction with any web-based video (translation: Hulu web pages). Live video of the meetup and a chat session are accessible on the Mogulus boxee meetup channel . With the new Pandora station, boxee users can listen to their personal quickmix and favorite stations, as well as create new stations, making music in the living room more accessible than ever. BoxeeHQ is also releasing a new PBS app today, and the company promises its new API will allow developers to build apps using XML pages and Python scripts, giving them control over everything they want from a UI perspective. They offer as an example the new implementation of Radio Time, an application built using the new API that will allow users to stream over 100k terrestrial radio stations from around the world
