Music apps is all that matters, its a free game vs a promo download. I would be surprised it they stayed #1 overall yes, I would be. As long as they stay #1, or just ahead of Slacker and Pandora Im happy. So no, its isnt a big deal. YOu cant expect there first week pace to continue. If Howard comes on, then it will go up huge again for a while, or if they upgrade it, or lauch a promotional campaign, with TV, etc...
No, Im not worried a free game app that gets more than one type of customer type, taking over #2.
You think they are going to convert 10% of the downloads? That would be an astronomically high conversion rate, I would be more then happy with that as well. When it comes to online free vs paid web apps or online sales in general 0.5% is considered good and 1% is amazing.
I can't speak about iPhone apps specifically, I am just stating what I know about online marketing conversion rates.
Why am I a "wonk?" Because I want the app to hold its high ranking?

So, the music apps are all that matters? The fact that the overall downloads pop could be wearing off already doesn't bother you? You dont want them to have as many downloads as possible? I am suprised by this, I would think that you of all people would want that app as high as it possibly could be since it seemed so important the day that it hit #2 on the list. I know it was important to me.

Just read that Rosie O'donnell will be hosting a show on satellite radio.
I believe she has quite a following.
