10 billion iTunes milestone just so happens on Steve Jobs 55th Birthday???
Coincidence or PR promo??
Not that I doubt that they are definitely in the “10 billion sold” vicinity. But is it actually possible to keep an exact running tally of songs sold?? And what a coincidence that it happens on his birthday…. Hmmm…
the itunes store’s counter reported 10B over a minute before the counter on the website in the video. Which was right? Class action?
It was a Marathon, full of Fear and Presto , despite your Freewill. You are free to go back to Moving Pictures for a living.
Congratulations whoever won!
In the meantime the Zune Marketshaft just sold its dozen copies. A big win for whoever the dozen owners of Zune HD players out there.
