Different App Prices - Online Vs. Native Market

[jfritzs2]

So I have a question that probably only Google/Android creators could probably answer.

When I search for Juice Defender Ultimate in the native market on my phone (T-mobile USA, Market Version: 3.1.3) the price is $4.99, but online at market.android.com, the app shows up for $6.88. Yes both are in US dollars ($) and I'm not routing my internet through another country or anything crazy like that.

Anyone know why there would be such a price difference? Its not a major deal, I'll just get the cheaper price on my phone. I guess I thought I'd just put it out there for anyone doing large market purchases, maybe compare before you buy.

Wouldn't this be at the discretion of the developer? After all he/she would have to put his/her apps in each market separately.

Well it's the same market though. The OP just wants to know why is there such a price difference between getting the app from the phone vs. from the browser.
