I'm curious about these figures - specifically what smartphone doesn't come with a bundled music player (not sure about Blackberry's) because iOS, Android and Symbian (at least the old one I had) all have this software.54% have music player apps on their smartphones
47% have radio apps on their smartphones
26% have music store apps on their smartphones
I also thought iOS had some on-device purchase capability (and I guess US teens can use Google Music)
I listen to radio over an 802.11 network, does that count?
Remember that Google Play/Music doesn't operate outside of the US ... yet?
Based on experiences with my kids, you couldn't sell a phone to teens that lacked a music player - heck all (?) the feature phones that my kids looked at had a basic music feature - even my Nokia 2330 Classic has.
I don't know anyone in my age group (18-21) that listens to the radio; it's full of biased Londoners sprouting off about grime and hip-hop and patronising anyone that listens to anything else. (No offence meant to my southern bretherin.
I'm surprised at how low some of those stats are!
By radio, do they mean online radio (Slacker/Pandora/TuneIn etc.) rather than the crappy FM variety (Radio One/local radio stations) which mainly consist of people talking drivel, the same songs being played every hour and adverts?
And how do they get these figures. A survey on an online music related site? Maybe I am going too far...
