 Apple announced that the 100 millionth iPod has been sold, making the
iPod the fastest selling music player in history. The first iPod was
sold five and a half years ago, in November 2001, and since then Apple
has introduced more than 10 new iPod models, including five generations
of iPod, two generations of iPod mini, two generations of iPod nano and
two generations of iPod shuffle.
Along with iTunes and the iTunes online music store, the iPod has transformed how tens of millions of music lovers acquire, manage and listen to their music.
The iPod has also sparked an unprecedented ecosystem of over 4,000 accessories made specifically for the iPod that range from fashionable cases to speaker systems, and more than 70 percent of 2007-model US automobiles currently offer iPod connectivity.
Every iPod features seamless integration with iTunes 7. The iTunes Store ( www.itunes.com ) features the world's largest catalog with over five million songs, 350 television shows and over 400 movies. The iTunes Store has sold over 2.5 billion songs, 50 million TV shows and over 1.3 million movies, making it the world's most popular online music, TV and movie store.
