Since its debut in November of 2001, Apple has released 10 variations of its market dominating portable media device, the iPod. Released in an unofficial sales figure, Apple says it has officially shipped its 100 millionth iPod and by which has reached a hefty milestone.
Shrugging off high profile competitors such as Microsoft with its Zune player as well as several third-party contenders, Apple has remained at the very top of the portable media food chain with a healthy and steady 70% market share. Their iTunes service boasts some 2.5 billion songs, 50 million television shows and over 1.3 million movies sold to further bolster their dominance.
With eager Apple fans awaiting the next product to drop from the lineup, the iPhone continues to generate media buzz. It is scheduled to be released 2 months from now with an expected price tag of $500 or $600.
