Who says nobody will consider paying for streaming music? Thumbplay Music , which offers unlimited music streaming apps for a monthly subscription across iPhone ( iTunes link ), Android, and Blackberry, reports that its smartphone apps have been downloaded 500,000 times since June. Thumbplay won't say how many of those downloads turn into paying customers (you get a free trial before having to start paying $9.99 a month), but even if it's only 10 percent, that's $500,000 a month in revenues.
