GSLO: Holiday Sales Boost Market for Apple Accessories
December 29 2010 - 9:15AM
Business Wire
Strong holiday sales of Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) products this year
will boost the market for accessories designed for use with
portable devices such as the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch, said
GoSolarUSA (PinkSheets: GSLO) President and CEO Tyson Rohde.
As holiday shopping winds down for the year, industry analysts
are proclaiming the Apple iPad as the season’s hottest gift item.
The iPad was tagged by many commentators around the globe as a top
gift idea for 2010, and Oprah Winfrey declared the tablet computer
her “all-time favorite” thing on a recent telecast. The
breakthrough iOS-based device was consumers’ tablet computer of
choice in a banner year for e-tabs, according to Wedge Partners
analyst Brian Blair. Though official holiday sales figures are not
yet available, some predicted six million iPads to be sold in the
current quarter alone.
Other Apple products were hot sellers during the holiday
shopping season, as well. Amazon.com announced Monday that the iPod
Touch media player was its (NASDAQ: AMZN) second best-selling
electronic device during the holiday season behind the Kindle
e-book reader. Apple expects sales of its iPhone to keep growing,
too: The company has raised its target for first-quarter shipments
by as much as 10 percent.
“The market for Apple accessories has undeniably grown by a
substantial margin over the holiday shopping season,” Rohde said.
“The projected sales for Apple products in this quarter and beyond
prompted GoSolarUSA to invest in the development of groundbreaking
mobile accessories such as the PREEcharge and the Peel 520. We are
convinced there is a very strong market for accessories designed
for use with Apple devices.”
GoSolarUSA is also funding the development of accessories
designed for use with products from Apple’s top competitors,
including Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) Android devices and Research in
Motion (NASDAQ: RIMM) BlackBerry smartphones. Both of those
companies enjoyed strong holiday sales, as well.
GoSolarUSA is dedicated to aggressively acquiring, developing
and marketing promising and potentially profitable technology. The
iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad are products of Apple Inc., which
competes in the global mobile electronics market against Google and
Research in Motion.
