About 3 out of every 4 music players in the US are iPods. The iPod has sold over 100 million units. It took approximately five years for iPod to become approximately 75% of the market.

This USA Today article, sourcing Forrester Research, states that AT&T is the leading wireless provider in the US with 27.1% of the market. AT&T and Apple have a five year agreement for iPhone exclusivity.

If you aren’t familiar with the history of AT&T, Steven Colbert of the Colbert Report comedically sums it up in this video.

If iPhone becomes as popular as iPod that would bump AT&T from 27.1% to potentially over 75% of the wireless market.

On the other hand, the iPhone could end up inhabiting only approximately 5% to 6% of the market like the Macintosh.

What do you think of the new AT&T?

AT&T Corporate Center; a monolithic monstrosity in the Chicago skyline.
