iTunes Music Store: 10 million songs and counting
Apple announced today that it has sold over 10 million songs from the iTunes Music Store, which is pretty impressive. Apple's online music store is still the best of the bunch, though it's hampered by it's Mac-only limits. "Legally selling ten million songs online in just four months is a historic milestone for the music industry, musicians and music lovers everywhere," said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. "Apple offers the only complete solution for digital music with iTunes and the amazing iPod, which now holds 10,000 songs in your pocket." That's like saying Apple offers the only complete PC solution because it makes both the hardware and software, however: The strength of the PC industry is that we have thousands of companies to turn to for competitive products, leading to higher quality and lower prices. And imagine how many sales they would have had if this was available on Windows.
