I feel like this is always a trend when something new comes out. When I-tunes first started people complained about purchasing individual songs over whole albums. Now it is over apps, in a few years when the next thing is up it will have the same consequences. It is interesting to see the trend to smart phones though.
Pirating is obviously a huge issue with regards to the Music industry and itunes specifically. Due to pirating I don't believe all of the songs that are actually downloaded are taken account for. I have a droid and typically only download the free apps- which there are only a select amount of. I definitely download more songs than apps from a personal standpoint.
