iPods - Still #1

MacObserver notes that the most recent (November) MP3 Player sales numbers from IDC continues to place the iPod at #1 in overall sales.

The 10GB Apple iPod ($299) reportedly edged out the cheaper 128MB Digitalway ($140) in overall sales, with the remainder of the iPod models also being well represented:

1. 10GB iPod ($299)
2. 128MB Digitalway ($140)
3. 20GB iPod ($399)
4. 128MB iRiver ($119.99-$139.99)
5. 40GB iPod ($499)

These numbers only represent November 2003 sales. Holiday sales, as well as the effect of the rumored "Mini" iPods should prove to be interesting.
