MacBook Pro appears on Amazon's 2010 bestseller list

by Mike Schramm (Dec 30th, 2010)

The iPhone and the iPad both made eBay's "top-shopped" list for the year, but neither of those devices are sold on Amazon, so they weren't to be found on the big online retailer's annual list of bestselling items. The Kindle was, of course -- it's Amazon's own e-reader, and it was both the ...
