Ondrej Holzman Apple introduced today new version of iPod touch and at the same time confirmed that to date it has sold more than 100 million units of the most popular iPod, which has been on sale since 2007.
News of the milestone was passed by Jim Dalrymple of the The Loop:
In addition to Thursday's introduction of the new iPod touch model, Apple told me this morning that it has sold more than 100 million iPod touches since its launch.
The iPod touch appeared in 2007 and had the design of an iPhone, only without the ability to make calls. Since then, it has become one of Apple's most popular products.
So the success of the iPod touch is considerable. But there is nothing to be surprised about. It's a cheaper alternative to the iPhone for those who don't really need to make phone calls. Then the iPod touch offers a great space for playing music, watching videos and playing games. At the same time, the iPod touch is the cheapest way to get into the iOS ecosystem, including the hundreds of thousands of apps in the App Store.
