UK is nation of 'mobile download junkies'

UK mobile phone users are "download junkies" spending a whopping £740m on ringtones, games and pictures, according to research outfit Mintel, reports The Register.

"The surge in spending - up from £40m in 2002 - is attributed to the ease of downloading and increasing familiarity with digital gear.

Ringtones account for a third of all downloads with games racking up a quarter of sales. The rest is made up of wallpapers/screensaves, music and gambling, with gaming set to explode over the next 12 months."
