Apple Stuff - Part Deux

First Thing. iPod. 336,000 sold last quarter. Market share is 31%. Today they are making it even better. Voice Recording. Device from Belkin. You can record 670 hours on a 40 GB ipod. You can also use it for photo syncing. Syncs with iPhoto. And there's a new iPod ad comimg out tonight.

Next, iTunes. Talks about what they've done with it. "It's good karma." They've sold over 13 million songs in less than 6 months. Sell around 600,000 songs per week. Nielsen says iTunes market share was 70% of all legal music downloads last week. Now, the next generation of iTunes. New features:

  • More Music. 400,000 by end of the month.
  • Signed up over 200 independent labels.
  • Audiobooks on iTunes music store from Audible.
  • Over 5000 books.
  • Includes Public Radio
  • Gift Certificates
  • Allowance - You can set up an allowance for your kids.
  • One more feature... that people never thought would happen until hell froze over...
  • iTunes now runs on Windows. Same interface and everything.
  • "Probably the best windows ap ever written."
  • Runs on xp and 2000. All the same features as the mac version.

He gives a demo on Windows. It's so funny watching Steve. I have to admit he's a great salesman. Even if sometimes I think he sounds like someone on an infomercial. (but wait... there's more...)
