This study actually helps Google more than Apple. Not only is Apple is going to make you pay double for a phone or tablet, they will charge you for Apps that you can get on competitive devices for free. People will buy products that has free features and apps.

Only Apple enthusiasts will buy a phone or tablet for double the price with the same or limited capabilities as Android products and still pay for Apps that are free. And they are so sucked into Apple that they will defend the art of paying more and more for what you should only pay for once. And that is the product inside the box.

Then there is the customer aspect...Android customers are a lot more sensible in their purchases; they don't pay $400 for a phone with a two year contract and they don't spend $5 on an app when a simple search finds another app that works just as good or better for free.
