Myxer, the Florida-based website which claims the Internet's largest catalogs of free ringtones, wallpapers, videos, applications, and games, has put together its inaugural report analyzing the download behavior of 30 million Android and iPhone users.
According to Myxer's data, Android users downloaded seven times as many freebie offerings as iPhone users in 2009. During that time, visits to Myxer's mobile site from users on the Android OS grew by 350 percent, compared to a 170 percent growth rate among iPhone users.
So what does it all mean? Myxer doesn't offer an explanation of why it thinks Android users downloaded so much more content than those on the iPhone, but even so, the two demographics combined don't account for the bulk of downloads. Blackberry owners dominate the free download scene, at least on Myxer's site, accounting for almost 70 percent.

I think the point here is that iPhone users usually use their PCs/Macs to download content to their phones using iTunes. They've also got AppStore to download apps. Android users don't have such software so they have to use internet catalogues for these purposes.

I would not have expected the Android users to download ringtones so much more often than iPhone users. But you really can't blame them since there is such an array of options for Android users.

Are you even allowed to change the backround and ringtone on the iPhone?

Doesn't android support dynamic wallpapers? that just might be why? As for ringtones you've got me stumped...my phone is always on vibrate.
