Apple’s iPod Classic 5th Most Popular Media Player In 2010

According to The Associated Press, Apple’s black 160GB iPod classic was the fifth top

selling media player in the U.S. last year, indicating that the hard drive-based device

would not way out of Apple’s product array in the proximate future.

Last week, NPD Group declared that by and large portable media player sales listing in

the U.S. last year. The black iPod classic took the fifth spot in the list of the

entire media player sales in the U.S., signifying that Apple’s only left over hard-

drive-based media player yet has a little life in it. The silver iPod classic failed to

make it in the top 10 devices.

Moreover, it is worth noting that sales reported by the market research group are

standing on individual models and colors, so a product array with several colors –

such as the iPod Nano or iPod shuffle — might be weak because of the number of

alternatives. In any case, Apple iPod classic among all media player sales is inspiring

for a product a few have considered to be close to discontinuation for years.
