I'm not making this up. As an staunch Apple fan, I hate to use the "M" word when it comes to my Macintosh. BUT...you know you have a monopoly in the portable MP3 player arena when....the iPod is used as an index for currency values in Australia.
Yep. A bank in Australia created an index using the iPod as the benchmark for currency.
According to the article, Commonwealth Securities launched the iPod index, which is based on the 2 gigabyte iPod Nano. The economic theory can be debated, but it's actually based on another model, the Big Mac index from Economist Magazine.
And I thought the Apple iPhone was cool.
