1:49PM, Thursday 14th April 2005
The iPod shuffle claimed 43 per cent of the worldwide flash player market in February, Apple said yesterday, quoting figures from NPD Techworld.
Its success has boosted Apple's share of the market for all portable music players to around 70 per cent; over 90 per cent of all hard drive players sold are iPods
Apple sold over five million iPods in the last three months, its best return yet, but declined to give separate figures for the three varieties.
The iPod-compatible iTunes Music Store has between 70 and 75 per cent of the global downloads market.
HP, which recently upgraded its iPod line-up, sells around three per cent of the total.
