It hit two million paying subscribers in September of last year and 2.5 million in November, and now Spotify has hit another big milestone. According to the Financial Times, it now has three million subscribers paying for one of its premium services, which reportedly represents more than 20 percent of its active user base. As the FT notes, that percentage is up from 15 percent in March of last year, and Spotify says that its “active” users don’t include folks who signed up for a a free trial of its premium service but didn’t continue to use the free service. Interestingly, the company also revealed that over half of its paying subscribers are under 30, which Spotify’s Ken Parks says is a “remarkable number of people who are generally hard to monetize.”

Motorola offered some estimates for its Q4 2011 earnings earlier this month, and it’s now out with the final numbers, reporting net revenues of $3.4 billion and a GAAP net loss of $80 million. That’s a swing in the opposite direction from $80 million in net earnings during the same quarter a year ago, although the company did achieve the “modest profitability” it had promised on a non-GAAP basis, reporting earnings of $61 million by that accounting standard. Its earlier estimates of device shipments for the quarter also proved to be on the mark, with the company confirming that it shipped 10.5 million mobile devices in total, 5.3 million of which were smartphones. Smartphone shipments for all of 2011 totaled 42.4 million.

Motorola’s Sanjay Jha also says that the company remains “energized” about the proposed merger with Google, which is still expected to close in early 2012.
