From the conference call highlights at macrumors.com:

"Music products: 19.45 million iPods. iPod touch sales grew 27% year-over-year. Now over 50% of iPod sales."

Over 50% of 19.45 million must be around 10 million.

Thanks! I think this is the first time they actually somewhat broke down the iPod numbers which makes sense because it allows them to emphasize the importance of iOS.

Yep - Macworld, in their conference call comments, noted that this is the first time they broke out iPod Touches. And for good reason. What an insane number!

Does it have to be raw numbers? Could it be that iPod touch sales (money) stands for more than 50% of all iPod sales?

If its true: Who buys all these iPod touch? Where I live (Sweden) iPhones are very common and touch is not. They are not very cheap either.

I have an iPod touch (I’m from Germany.) and there are several reasons for that:

1. An iPhone is prohibitively expensive for me. I want my cheap prepaid phone, thank you.

2. iPhones only have up to 32GB of space, I need 64GB.

3. I need some kind of portable music device anyway that can save all my music.

I paid 350€ for it which is certainly relatively cheap, a great price for what it does.
