The Mac and iPod juggernaut has strong lead in the consumer electronics market, and thatis not about to change, according to All Headline News.
Apple released success after success in 2005, starting with the iPod shuffle and Mac mini, leading on through to the iPod nano, video capable iPod, video downloads at the iTunes Music Store, and the Front Row iMac G5 with remote control.

Looking to 2006, rumors abound about iPods with wireless Internet connections and bigger screens, TiVo-like Mac mini home entertainment systems, wide-screen iBooks, and more.
