Music lovers do not want to download music on a mobile phone from the network

Despite the explosive growth in sales of smartphones, users are in no hurry to download music from the network. Mobile maps, mobile social networks, mobile news - no problem. It does not matter: for free or for money, but the people do not want to download music.

According to Hothardware.com , less than 2% of mobile phone users in the United States and Western Europe used a mobile phone to download music in the first quarter of 2010. This is despite the fact that 24% of respondents listen to music through a mobile phone regularly. However, they prefer to download tracks at home from a computer, and not on the street from the network.

The unpopularity of downloading music from the network is explained by the fact that the usability of music services remains a big problem - navigation leaves much to be desired. Meanwhile, mobile phone users do not have the time to figure out how it works. And even with such musical monsters as iTunes, downloading files to your phone is not so easy. Not to mention the fact that 3G networks do not work everywhere, and in some places you have to use 2G / EDGE.
