Thanks! But back to engadget:

12:12 PM - "How many [iPods] did we sell last quarter? Some of the estimates were getting astronomical - 8 million, 9 million. I'm really pleased to annnounce that last quarter we sold 14 million iPods .. that is over a hundred every minute, 24/7 thoroughout the quarter. And it still wasnt enough. We've now sold over 42 million iPods -- as you can see the curve is going up again"

12:14 PM - We have sold on iTunes over 850 million songs. We are well on our way to hitting a billion in the next weeks. That is over a billion songs a year run rate. Our market share continues to be very strong - 83 percent. As you know one of the newest things on iPods is TV shows. Since we launched on October 12th we have sold over 8 million videos. For the first time last week we added some sports. For the first time with ABC and ESPN we put up some Bowl games."

12:15 PM - "The Rose Bowl is the #1 video now on iTunes. Today we're putting up some great new content, Saturday Night Live. This is some stuff that I've personally wanted to see from day one."

12:16 PM - Video: John Belushi in Samurai delicatessen. The Coneheads at home. (these are playing on an iPod screen.) The Blue Brothers get a round of cheers.

12:16 PM - We're also introducing a new accessory for your iPod today, which is a remote control - it's also an FM tuner.

12:18 PM - And last, I want to give an update on Chrysler. For those of you that missed it at the Detroit Auto Show, Chrysler is the first american manufacture to offer iPod integration on their models. In 2006 over 40% of the cars sold in 2006 will offer iPod integration.

"Jobs said that Apple sold 14 million iPods this holiday season, compared to 4.5 million for the 2004 holiday season -- that averaged to more than 100 sold every minute. The total number of iPods Apple has sold since the music play was first introduced in 2001 -- 42 million."

14 *million* iPods... 14 *million* iPods... 14 *million* iPods...
