The NPD Group, a research analysis firm, said that all models of the iPod accounted for 92.1 percent of the market for hard drive-based music players, up from 82.2 percent a year ago, while players from Creative and Rio were a distant second and third, with 3.7 percent and 3.2 percent of the market, respectively, according CNET News.com: "NPD analyst Stephen Baker attributed the results to a strong launch for new fourth-generation versions of the iPod, which arrived on the market just at the right time to dominate back-to-school buying. 'Back-to-school has turned out to be a very big season for music players,' Baker said. The iPod Mini, the smaller 4GB version of the player Apple introduced last year, continues to sell well, Baker said, but Apple faces credible competition there from new devices such as Rio's Carbon."

It's the only MP3 player I see... I still see CD players just as much... I never see much else. But phones are catching on.

i wasnt sure either. i just wanted to break the news. on a check afterwards, i've noticed that they are talking about it too =( .. i am unable to delete these darn threads .. why doesnt it work? i hit the checkbox and everything
on a side note, i see cd players too but they gotta be on their way out. these hd players sound practically as good ... and are no where near as big ... it's amazing ...

In the news today: "The stunning success of a string of iPod killers has caused the beleagured white MP3 player's market share to decrease from 82% to 91%."

most complained that this is just hard drive players and not all mp3 players .. check this out...

According the NPD Group research firm, Apple now holds 68 percent of the portable music player market with the iPod. And that's not just hard disk-based players—they have an 82 percent share there—but includes flash-based players, as well. I doubt they included MP3 CD players in that mix, but even still, that's seven out of ten players as iPods—and this Christmas I've heard projections that they expect to sell around 3 million more.
