iPod Touch sales double year-on-year

Apple today reported its 2nd Quarter financial results with the news that it sold 11.01 million iPods during the quarter which is a 3 percent increase compared to the quarter a year ago. This is despite Apple’s introduction of the third-generation iPod shuffle during the quarter.

The good news is that the iPod touch showed particularly impressive performance, with sales more than doubling year-over-year. "The sum of iPhone plus iPod touch is now about 37 million units," said COO Tim Cook. "It provides an enormous platform for developers to develop on."

In a later question, Cook again referred to the iPod touch, calling it “a runaway hit” whose success is “clearly driven by the App Store.” To that end, Apple CFO Peter Oppenheimer indicated that one of the reasons the iPod touch has been so successful is as a games device. “All genres [on the App Store] are very popular,” said Oppenheimer, “but games are quite popular. That’s one of the reasons the iPod touch has been such a success.”

Cook also suggested the upcoming iPhone 3.0 SDK will further contribute to the platform's success. "With our recent SDK changes the developers are working on now, I think it just unleashes a whole new level of innovation that keeps Apple years ahead of everyone else," he said.

CFO Peter Oppenheimer, claims the iPod retains a 70-percent market share in the United States. Internationally, he suggests the media players have shown particularly impressive growth in the U.K., France, Germany, Japan, France and China.

US Military's latest weapon is the iPod Touch

According to a new report from Newsweek, iPod touch and iPhone are becoming the electronic handheld devices of choice for U.S. military overseas. The iPod touch fulfills the U.S. military's need to equip soldiers with a single device that can perform many different tasks. Although neither Apple nor the military will comment on how many have been deployed, the devices are now being used for a variety of purposes like mapping, translation, trajectory calculation and carrying video messages, etc.

The Pentagon is funding the technology behind an app that would allow a soldier to take a picture of a street sign and quickly receive intelligence on the local area, while the U.S. Marine Corps is funding an application that would allow soldiers to upload photos of detained suspects to a centralized, biometric database, which could then be used to match faces and make it easier to track suspects once they’ve been released.

More advanced plans include the ability to send or receive extremely sensitive communications, such as video from unmanned drones, or calls from spies in foreign countries. The US Army is in the process of developing a remote control app for bomb disposal robots, exploiting Apple's motion-sensing technology.
