YES, Robert is right, and looking at Apple sales on iPods it is now at
70 iPods EVERY minute being sold around the World
This means a NEW QT user every SECOND !!!
EVERY iPod buyer MUST install iTunes and QT on their machine !!!
My 11 years old son (being a mac lover too) did a search on his
friends at school and at ORKUT and realized that almost 90% of them
did not even know that they already had QT installed on their pcs ...
Close to Christmas; iPods sell even more...
Last year on the 3 quarter APPLE sold around 150 iPods every minute !
People get that: QT is being installed more widely than we can imagine
thanks to iPod and iTunes.
THANKS Apple !
