Analyst says iPods very popular with teens
MacMinute reports “Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster said today that based on a survey of 600 teenagers, Apple’s iPod is dominating “mindshare and market share.” Munster said in a research note that of all the high school students surveyed, 16 percent currently own an iPod and 24 percent plan to buy an iPod within the next year. Munster also noted that the iPod ranked fourth on the teens’ holiday wish list—behind clothes, money, and a car—even though the iPod was not an answer option and had to be written in as a response.”

I thought that last part was pretty amazing. If someone is just filling out a survey and that wasn’t even a choice, but a write-in came in fourth behind those VERY popular choices, that’s cool. Maybe this just amazed me because I’m old.

Ipods are also big hits among humans, as opposed to primates and / or human-cyborg hybrids.
