It is not hard to believe that Apple has sold over 100 million iPods worldwide, when you take in a number of different factors. The first factor is that the iPod has the personal music industry dominated; whether it be the very effective opetating format or the the software (iTunes), Apple has it all and no other device comes close to challenging it. Also you must take into effect that the United States is not the only country who can generate large sales when it comes to technological purchases. Countries like Japan, China, South Korea, and Germany are all growing in their IT/TC areas, and the purchases of things like iPods becomes more and more frequent. Finally the iPod has had 3 generations now with a 4th to come, and within each generation the sales have been astronomical which leaves a worthy explanation of that 100 Million sold mark
