I have trouble believing any list provided by a company that refuses to release any sales-related data. If the device is selling as well as they'd like the general public to believe, then why not post the numbers that back the claim? Also, as others have stated it's misleading when you have 3 different types of 2nd generation iPod touches in the line-up, with the only variation in hardware being the storage capacity. I'd be much more impressed if they were to combine them together into a single slot and then show a sub-list with the ranking for the individual models.

I also have yet to see a Kindle in the wild, but have seen several Sony ereader devices. I plan on buying a Kindle regardless, as from my forum-scavenging I've found that many Kindle owners are also Mac owners and have given the same dedication to their Kindle as they have their Mac devices. I just hope that I'm not misplacing my trust in a company that is so secretive with their sales figures and also hasn't issued a software update since the original release of their product and have given little information about any prospect of updated hardware or software. They don't seem to care much for their customer base.
