About this weblog
Here we'll report daily on the latest tech and business developments in New York City. Impossible we concede: comprehensive coverage of the city's every story. What we hope you'll find: tips, tidbits and perspectives you won't find elsewhere. As well as unique insights, original interviews and more that should be of interest to New York's vibrant community of technologists and those who track, invest in and report on them.
According to the New York Post, Apple iTunes is now the seventh-largest music retailer in the U.S., trailing only Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Target, Amazon.com, FYE and Circuit City. A year earlier, iTunes pulled in at #14 according to the survey conducted by NPD Group, so it's easy to see how Apple's online music store could break into the Top 5 by 2006. The writing is on the wall, obviously, for traditional music retailers like Tower Records, Coconuts, and Sam Goody.
