amazon has best year ever
by Justin Horn on Dec 27th, 2008 @ 12:30 amCNN Money is reporting that Amazon has had its best year ever. Apple does very well on Amazon and currently has 5 of the top 25 best sellers in electronics
From the CNN report:
Amazon said Samsung Electronics Inc.’s (005930.SE) 52-inch LCD High-Definition television and Apple Inc.’s (AAPL) 8-gigabyte iPod Touch led the gains in its electronics category.
Nice to see them pointing out Apple’s role in Amazon’s sales, but I think they meant to say 16GB iPod Touch which is currently at the #11 spot on the top 25 list. Also, I’m sure the classic black (#8 at time of this post) and 4th gen nano black (#10 as time of post) have helped as well 
Another funny tidbit from the report:
Online retailers, like Amazon, may have benefited from poor weather in the two weeks before Christmas, which likely shifted sales volume to the Web-based shops, MasterCard said.
Although there may be some truth to that, I think it has more to do with it being 2008. More and more people are online and those same people are choosing to shop online. So more good news for Apple even with all these dumb reporters and analyst predicting doom and gloom.
