Eight of the top 10 digital audio devices sold between November 27 and December 30 of last year were from Apple, with the other two devices in the top 10 from Sandisk, according to a Current Analysis report on retail sales of digital audio devices.

Apple accounted for 64 per cent of digital audio devices sold during that time period, Sandisk accounted for 22 per cent and Microsoft accounted for 3 per cent.

And that doesn't include Apple stores!
