Perhaps no single device has had more impact on mobile music than Apple's
iPhone. While only 6.7 percent of overall mobile customers use their phone
to listen to music, rising to 27.9 percent for smartphone users, a full 74.1
percent of iPhone owners reported using the device as an MP3 player.


So where are all those linux based "iPod killers" and "iPhone killers" that
people keep posting about?
