Brad Gibson reports on outstanding iPod Shuffle market-share numbers from a report by Merrill Lynch analyst Steven Milunovich. Even more impressive is that Apple CFO Peter Oppenheimer told Milunovich that Apple was supply-constrained in March, meaning they couldn’t make Shuffles fast enough to keep up with demand.
- A Short History of DragThing ★
-
To mark its 10-year anniversary, James Thompson has written a nice page documenting the history of DragThing, one of the most popular and successful interface utilities in the history of the Macintosh. Includes lists of 10 things you didn’t know about DragThing, 10 apps used to make DragThing, 10 killer Apple technologies DragThing has not used, and, at the bottom of the page, a $10 discount valid during the next 10 days. And if anyone knows the DragThing 4 Easter egg, let me know. (Via John Siracusa, via AIM.)

- PGP Desktop 8 Not Compatible With Tiger ★

And version 9.0, which is still in beta, hasn’t been certified for Tiger yet, either, but apparently it works. At least that’s how I interpreted the phrase “early compatibility testing has proven successful”. It’s not like Tiger’s release date was a surprise.
- One Record Company Holding up ITMS in Australia ★
-
This sucks, at least if you live in Australia:
An agreement with one major record company stands between Australian iPod users and their Holy Grail – the long-awaited Apple iTunes Music Store.
A source said yesterday Apple had planned to launch an Australian version of its popular online music store last Thursday, as widely touted, but the launch was thwarted by one unnamed major record company that refused to sign an agreement in time.
The hurdle reportedly forced Apple to cancel radio advertisements ordered for the date, and it is expected to delay iTunes’s launch by days, or possibly weeks, as song and album prices and payments are negotiated with the holdout label.
