In this iPhone powered world (or atleast iPhone buzzed world), we won’t make a mistake of under-estimating the iPod touch which is also a major player in the market.
Recently, when the survey was made about the most sold gaming consoles iPod Touches were high on the charts and this Christmas iPod Touch has topped a lot of things.
App Store download stats
First and foremost being the app store downloads. According to Flurry, which provides statistics about Application downloads on handheld devices, stated that Apple’s app store saw a 51% growth during Christmas and that there was about 1000% growth in downloads from iPod Touches!
This is why people around the web are telling that iPod Touch’s were the most gifted devices this Christmas (surely when compared to iPhone). It’s raining apps for Apple! [MobileCrunch]
There’s something else we had stated, referring to this. When Apple did add a video camera to iPod Nano and not to iPod Touch we said why they were doing this, so that they could sell a hell lot of iPod Touches this Christmas and then later add a camera and those who bought iPods would probably upgrade to the newer iPods soon. I am really looking forward to their January event!
