“iPods became the big-selling product for the US holiday season this weekend, as online retailer Best Buy, Amazon and eBay reported heavy demand for the music players,” Dan Nystedt reports for Macworld UK. “Sales of black 4GB iPod nanos shot up 95 per cent, while the white version leaped 88 per cent between Friday November 25, and Saturday November 26, compared to a week earlier, according to eBay Marketplace Research, an eBay service that tracks purchasing behaviour. Retailer Best Buy was sold out of both the white and black versions of the 4GB iPod nano through its online store. The iPod nano was the sixth biggest-selling item on Amazon in the US.”
Nystedt reports, “The US celebrated Thanksgiving last week, after which consumers regularly begin their Christmas shopping. Apple has repeatedly confirmed ‘staggering’ demand for its music players.”
