Apple keynote: iPod & iTunes updates

It’s Only Rock and Roll!

Apple held their special media event, “It’s Only Rock & Roll but we Like It”.   A standing ovation was given to Steve Jobs who has just returned from serious illness.  He said he’s happy to be ‘vertical’ and enjoying being back at Apple every day.

iPod market

Apple boasted their market share stats with the pleased Apple fan crowd.

As well, Apple reported that over 50% of iPod customers these days are first-time iPod owners, not return customers.

And what’s the faster growing iPod?  iPod touch. Why? 

Because it’s “a great iPod, a great pocket computer, a great portable game player” (their words)

Apple is set to overtake the competition for gaming devices that don’t have multi touch, who’s games are expensive, without an app store. They’re even boasting more game titles than their competitors.

Is there no electronics market they don’t want to dominate?  hmmm
