Analyst sees strong sales of Apple iPod shuffle and Aperture software

“Apple Computer this month is benefiting from better than expected sales of its lower storage capacity iPod digital music players and $499 Aperture photography software, according to one Wall Street analyst,” Katie Marsal reports for AppleInsider. “In a research note released Tuesday on behalf of American Technology Research, analyst Shaw Wu said his checks reveal a surge in sales of the iPod shuffle and 2GB iPod nano. ‘It appears that holiday shoppers (particularly first-time iPod buyers) are more concerned with the price point as opposed to the storage capacity,’ Wu said. He believes this is a sign that Apple’s bet $199 price point for the 2GB nano has begun to pay off, in the same it did with the $199 4GB iPod mini.”

Marsal reports, “Additionally, Wu also reported garnering evidence of strong sales of Apple’s sub-$130 iPod shuffles and $499 Aperture photography software.”

  1. It is time to sell your Apple stock (AAPL). It has reached its zenith. It can only hit bottom. Believe me, I have no plans to buy lots of Apple stock when the price drops. ” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”cool grin” style=”border:0;” />
