Top iPad Music Apps (a/o May 23rd):
(
Nearly one-in-four mobile users is now toting around a smartphone, according to the latest finding from Nielsen. But activities like streaming audio, ringtone downloads, and full-track downloads lag far behind a range of other smartphone activities.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, more functional activities like email, mapping, text messaging, and mobile internet surfing are most demanded among smartphone consumers. But other less-obvious categories like picture downloading, IMing, and gaming beat out music activities, though high-ranking 'app downloads' certainly encompass music-specialized services (a complete breakdown of all ranked activities here).
And the war among smartphone makers? On a quarter-to-quarter basis, Nielsen's Q1 stats showed a slight, 2 percent gain for the iPhone (to 28 percent), and a concomitant 2 percent drop for Blackberry to 35 percent. Android gained 2 percent to reach 9 percent overall penetration, while Windows Mobile slipped 2 percent to 19 percent overall (a complete breakdown of smartphone rankings here).

I think that's the point. Music is great. Yeah! We get music on our phones. But there's so much else going on here. Makes it hard for Westergren to claim that Pandora bandwidth is fine under AT&T caps.
