Apple must be all smiles lately, because lately it seems they can do no wrong. They have people hyped up for the iPhone and Leopard, did well did the Safari for Windows launch, and now they have become the #3 seller of music in the US. Now, as impressive as this, I think I am more surprised by the fact that the #1 is Wal-Mart. Regardless, in the process of hitting #3, Apple effectively surpassed Amazon, by a healthy margin.
This isn’t the biggest of surprises, since Steve himself predicted that the iTunes Store would overtake Amazon at the Showtime event back in September, but the leap to #3 is a little unexpected, since Apple also outpaced Target last quarter.
