As expected, there were no new iPod-related product rollouts announced at yesterday's WWDC 2005 Keynote, delivered by Steve Jobs. Some iPod/iTunes statistics were given, however. They were as follows:- 16 million iPods sold by the end of last quarter
- iPod hold 76% of digital music player market share
- 430 million songs have been sold on the iTunes Music Store
- As of May, the iTunes Music Store holds 82% market share
- There are over 8,000 podcasts out there currently
- Podcasting support will soon appear built-in to iTunes
The biggest news of the keynote, by far, was the announcement that Apple will be transitioning its Macintosh line of computers to the Intel processor architecture over the next two years. This is being done in a manner that should be nearly invisible to consumers, aside from bringing with it faster and lower priced hardware. This is perhaps the biggest news within Apple since the introduction of the original Macintosh back in 1984.
Mac on Intel has more details on the transition.
