This happened last Sunday evening with the iTunes sales graph. By Wednesday, the traffic was back to the usual numbers.

And $99 for a leather iPod case? Yeah, I think I’ll pass on that too. Here’s a sample reaction from the comments section of the Engadget livecast.

how can jobs say he’s an audiophile when iTunes sells crap lo-fi music and he drops a turd like the “ipod hifi” on the market?!??!? boo apple…was hoping it would be something like the soundbridge or something and maybe lossless music on itunes….. :(

The new Intel-based Mac Mini, on the other hand, looks promising. How much longer until HD content is available on iTunes? ]]> http://www.mdoeff.com/blog/2006/02/28/ipod-hi-fi-no-thanks/feed/ -1 Skype Registered Users Graph http://www.mdoeff.com/blog/2006/02/27/skype-registered-users-graph/ http://www.mdoeff.com/blog/2006/02/27/skype-registered-users-graph/#comments Tue, 28 Feb 2006 07:18:00 +0000 mdoeff http://www.mdoeff.com/blog/?p=83 For those of you saw my iTunes Sales Graph, make sure to check out a similar graph that I did a couple of months ago showing the growth of Skype registered users. I’ll be updating that graph in a month or so when eBay reports Q1 2006 earnings. ]]> http://www.mdoeff.com/blog/2006/02/27/skype-registered-users-graph/feed/ -1 iTunes Song Purchases plotted on a graph http://www.mdoeff.com/blog/2006/02/26/itunes-song-purchases-plotted-on-a-graph/ http://www.mdoeff.com/blog/2006/02/26/itunes-song-purchases-plotted-on-a-graph/#comments Sun, 26 Feb 2006 11:51:00 +0000 mdoeff http://www.mdoeff.com/blog/?p=81

Apple recently announced 1 billion songs purchased on iTunes. I dug around the Apple press releases and tracked down some of the major iTunes milestones over the last few years. It’s amazing that there have been 500 million songs purchased since July 2005. That’s 500 million songs purchased in 7 months for an average of 71 million songs purchased per month!

Additional data point: 850 million on Jan 10, 2006 (announced at Macworld)
