Yes, Apple has sold 110 million iPods but there are 6 billion people on Earth.

Well, yes, not every single person on the planet has an iPod. However, your post is misleading because not too many people living in impoverished nations that can’t afford to eat are in the market for mp3 players.

If you compare that 110 million iPods sold with the amount of people who use the Internet, which is 694 million (source), and also consider that only a certain subset of those people know how to or have the need for a portable music player, than the number of iPods sold is massive!

And if you’re trying to say iPod isn’t totally dominating music sales, here are the reported market shares for the first 6 months of 2007 (source):

iPod = 71% of U.S. unit sales
SanDisk = 10%
Creative Technology = 4%
Microsoft = 3%

And, no, the Microsoft Zune is not the iPod killer people were hoping it would be, heh.

If you don’t think Apple has the power to do whatever it wants, think again… for now, anyway.
Samsung = 2%
