I suspect a great number of people here either don't use iPhones, haven't upgraded to iOS6, or don't use the special google maps app (I'm on 5.1.1 on a 4S, and the maps app that comes with the phone does not do this)

I'd be wary of Nanex and their data quality in general: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5146571 Most people offering market data risk running afoul of the contractual agreements signed with the various exchanges.

To be fair, they didn't conclude this magically: they went to a consulting firm and they told GM that radio was unpopular. I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out that the consulting firm had a financial interest in spotify or rdio
