Apple announces 100 million iPods sold; via a 2-page spread in the Wall Street Journal |
Apple today announced via a press release that it has sold over 100 million iPods.
“At this historic milestone, we want to thank music lovers everywhere for making iPod such an incredible success,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “iPod has helped millions of people around the world rekindle their passion for music, and we’re thrilled to be a part of that.”
“It’s hard to remember what I did before the iPod,” said Mary J. Blige, GRAMMY Award-winning singer. “iPod is more than just a music player, it’s an extension of your personality and a great way to take your favorite music with you everywhere you go.”
“Without the iPod, the digital music age would have been defined by files and folders instead of songs and albums,” said John Mayer, GRAMMY Award-winning singer-songwriter and guitarist. “Though the medium of music has changed, the iPod experience has kept the spirit of what it means to be a music lover alive.”
[Update - 9 April 2007, 23.30 BST] - Apple appears to be very proud of its 100 million iPods sold figure and has taken out a full 2 page spread in the Wall Street Journal today. The Apple.com homepage has also been changed to reflect the news.
