Apple announced it has now sold 100 million iPods. The milestone gives the iPod the title of the fastest selling music player in history.
Since first offered in November 2001, the iPod has undergone many changes. More than 10 different iPod models have been sold in addition to the introduction of the iPod mini, iPod nano, and iPod shuffle. Apple also notes that the iPod has led to a very robust accessories market, which includes over 4,000 accessories.
Apple should be pounding its chest a little bit over its 100-millionth iPod sold. Who would have thought that a company selling Macs could transform itself into the music powerhouse it has become? It's no surprise companies such as Microsoft are looking to copy some of that success.

"CoolTechZone.com columnist Gundeep Hora has a new column up that discusses why Apple should acquire AMD and how both companies would be a good fit for each other. From the article, "After private equity groups, let's look at a more strategic acquisition. For that, Apple is the best bet. Yes, I know it sounds way too radical to be taken seriously. However, Apple could drop Intel altogether and adopt AMD for its Macintosh PCs. Sure, the transition is going to take sometime, and it would probably make Apple announce a brand new line of PCs. However, it will be well worth it. We know Steve Jobs is ruthless when it comes to making interesting deals with powerful companies. This makes AMD a perfect match. Obviously Intel isn't going to be too delighted, but other companies don't bother Jobs. We all know he's the type of executive who crafts deals on his own terms. If Intel wants to be associated with Apple, then they won't really have much of a choice."
