Other rivals such as Rio, Creative and Dell will probably start chipping away at Apple's lead this holiday season, but there is little doubt that iPod will dominate the holiday shopping frenzy.
I've yet to hear anyone, kids or adults, say that they want "an MP3 player" or some other particular brand this year. It's always "an iPod," always.

"US holiday sales forecasts have been decidedly muted this year, but it appeared no one bothered telling the throngs of shoppers crammed into Apple Computer's downtown San Francisco store last week."


I can say that there was a frenzy at the Michigan Ave store this past weekend. The line was about 30-40 people long and at least 5 people in line were carrying an iPod. They also had 3 tables on the first floor dedicated to iPods. Pretty impressive scene!

Duh?



Best thing I ever got in my Stocking was my first knife (smallest swiss army knife there is). Runner up has to be a razer, as a hint from my parents something needed to be done with my face ;)

Stick an iPod in my stocking any time santa, if I already have one, I'll sell it on eBay :D
