iTunes owns 90% of paid video downloads

During the third quarter of 2006, consumers paid for and download approximately 1.2 million videos from online providers. Of these, about two thirds were TV shows, a quarter were music videos and about 6% were movies. Apple's iTunes store accounted for about 90% of these sales. Vongo came in second with about 5% of sales.

The vast majority of other video downloads? Porn. A Forbes.com article suggests that US consumers downloaded about six million porn videos in the Q3 of 2006, mostly from free illegal sites. The 1.2 million legal video downloads in that time period kind of pales in comparison.


Tip of the Day

To get an instant map to any address, just go to your Address Book and right click on the address field of any one of your contacts and select "Map Of." The address will then be revealed in Google Maps on Safari. You can do the same if a data detector determines there is an address in an e-mail in Mail.
