Top-selling Amazon.com electronics products? Surprise: iPod and iPod mini

Amazon.com reported record holiday sales this season. For the first time, consumer electronics sales surpassed book sales, in large part due to consumer demand for the Apple iPod and iPod mini, which were two of the five top selling electronics products this year.

During its single-day record, the online retailer saw orders at a rate of 32 items per second. Yowzah! Another big winner in the electronics category was the iTunes $15 prepaid card. Good news for Apple and Amazon, both.
