This post is titled Apples sold 100 million on iTunes. by author Anonymous. SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Apple Computer Inc. has sold 100 million songs on its iTunes Music Store, solidifying its position as the leading legal music download site, the maker of the iPod and Macintosh computer said on Monday.

Apple, which reports third-quarter financial results on Wednesday, has already sold more than 3 million iPods, which range in cost from $249 to $499, depending on their capacity.

Apple has been selling virtually every iPod it has made, but it has a hard time keeping up with demand for the iPod mini. Hitachi, which makes the 1-inch 4-gigabyte hard drives for the iPod mini, is boosting production of the drives by the end of the year.

The 100 millionth song, "Somersault (Dangermouse remix)" by Zero7, was purchased on Sunday by Kevin Britten, 20, of Hays, Kansas. In accordance with a promotion Apple announced recently, Britten will receive a 17-inch PowerBook notebook computer, a 40-gigabyte iPod and a gift certificate for 10,000 iTunes songs.

Jobs himself telephoned Britten to congratulate him, an Apple spokeswoman said.
