Appleis iPod Photo and 30-inch Cinema HD Display are among the top selling electronics products for online retailer Amazon.com this Christmas season, the company told The Mac Observer.

"Apple products are selling very well," Molly Ingle, Amazon.com Senior PR Manager, told TMO. "We expect them to continue to be big sellers throughout the holiday season."

Ms. Ingle said Amazon has been able to meet demand for the majority of Apple products, including the 17- and 20-inch G5 iMac models, which are currently shipping within two to three days of an order.

"Weive been able to meet demand on the iPod Photo and 30-inch displays and we have ample supply at this time," she said.
