I think convenience is the number one factor why people buy so much
music on and apps for iPods / iOS devices.  Especially the iOS apps
growth is amazing - it looks like before the app store is three years
old, users will have downloaded more apps than music, even though
Apple has sold music since 2003 and music runs on all iPods and iOS
devices and Mac and Windows and other MP3 players (http://

If I was Google, I'd tie in-app purchases to your Google ID, like
everything else on Android.  :-)
