Slim Down for Summer with That's Fit

iPod / iTMS Stats from Macworld

Engadget did the play-by-play from Macworld, and though much of Steve Jobs's presentation was devoted to non-musical Mac issues, he did lead off with some iPod and iTMS statistics.
  • Apple sold 14-million iPods in Q4, 2005. That's over a hundred every minute.
  • iTunes has sold over 850-million tracks, and the countdown is on for 1-billion. Jobs quoted Apple's market share in online music sales at 83 percent. It's unclear to me how that number is computed, and how subscription services compete in marketshare metrics.
  • iTMS has sold over 8-million videos since that portion of the store launched in October.
Jobs introduced an iPod accessory: a remote control that adds an FM tuner. The remote is a nice idea. The tuner, of course, is an innovation years behind the times, but welcome nonetheless.
