Analysis provided by Theflyonthewall.com:Amazon.com lists the most popular selling products by category. It updates the list every hour. What items are the most popular selling electronic products so far this season? iPods!
Apple Computer Inc.'s (NASDAQ: AAPL) iPod, and related accessories made up 12 of the 25 items on Amazon's top 25 list during one hour over the weekend. Microsoft Corporation's (NASDAQ: MSFT) Zune was not on the list.
Microsoft has lost search business to Google. It has lost media/download file business to Apple. Hence, 2007 will be an important year as Microsoft's new operating system Vista comes to market. Often, Microsoft has not been the company first to market and, at times, has not brought the best products to the market. However, the software giant has over time been able to battle back and become the dominant player in many sectors.
However, it appears this time around, Google and Apple have stayed a few steps ahead of Microsoft. On Monday at mid-day, Microsoft was down 33c to $29.43 while Google was down $13.71 to $491.29; Apple was down 78c to $90.85.
