Interesting iTunes and iPod Statistics from Businessweek

Apple points to the 500 million tracks downloaded on iTunes to date as a milestone. But dividing that figure by the more than 20 million iPods sold indicates that each iPod owner has bought an average of fewer than 30 songs from iTunes. Piper Jaffray estimates that only nine tracks are bought per month per iPod user.

So the average iPod owner has only had the iPod 3 months? It seems like the average iPod owner actually downloads far less than 9 tunes per month.
