I wrote a blog post last November one week after the Zune player went on the market showing some data about iPods vs. Zune on Amazon.com. I thought it was an interesting comparison, so I'm doing another one as a 4-month follow-up.

Here are the current Top 100 Bestsellers at Amazon.com right now, edited to show only iPods and the Zune:

5. Apple 30 GB iPod video Black (5.5 Generation)
11. Apple 80 GB iPod video Black (5.5 Generation)
18. Apple 2 GB iPod Nano Silver (2nd Generation)
24. Apple 1 GB iPod Shuffle Metal (2nd Generation)
40. Apple 8 GB iPod Nano Black (2nd Generation)
44. Apple 30 GB iPod video White (5.5 Generation)
47. Apple 4 GB iPod Nano Silver (2nd Generation)
68. Apple 1 GB iPod Shuffle Blue (2nd Generation)
72. Apple 1 GB iPod Shuffle Pink (2nd Generation)

Oh no! Zune is not in the Top 100 list!

Well, we could all see that one coming, right? I wonder which one is selling better right now: the Zune, or Windows Vista.

Microsoft has yet to release any actual sales numbers for the Zune, opting instead to make vague statements about sales goals. If I recall correctly, Microsoft said they were trying to sell 1 million Zunes in 2007. Apple sells 10+ million iPods every few months.
