Just how many 3G wireless users are downloading music over the air?

In Britain, 3G wireless subscribers download an average of 4.1 music tracks to their advanced wireless phones per month -- which, in my opinion, is pretty impressive, seeing as 3G service is fairly new. If this kind of adoption rate hits the U.S. mobile landscape, then carriers are sure to be happy.

One thing of note in this story is that the PC continues to be a central device for the backup and overall storage of downloaded music, even with advanced 3G phones in the picture. This makes sense, as the central device in the overall personal multimedia universe is definitely not the mobile phone at this time.
