iPod, LCDs were top holiday sellers

Top U.S. major retailers have agreed, Apple's iPod and liquid crystal displays (LCDs) were the top sellers this holiday season. "For us, anything that said iPod or was an iPod accessory was hot," said Larry Mondry, CEO of CompUSA. The latest statements from retail executives confirm analyst predictions of iPod sales; Piper Jaffray performed checks with several Mac resellers in late December of 2005 to find that iPod- and Mac-related sales were stronger than the previous year. Amazon.com also announced in late December that the iPod was among its top three selling electronic items during the holidays. The iPod was a hot item in the U.K. as well, as unprecedented demand was reported just before the new year. "We had a good year in general, and specifically, a terrific Christmas season," said Mondry, according to a report from InfoWorld.
