Time Capsule selling well
May 14th 2008
Quoting NPD data, BusinessWeek reports that Apple's Time Capsule, a consumer-class network storage solution, is selling well. As important, the device is doing well without cannibalizing Airport Extreme sales.
Steve Baker, NPD, calls Time Capsule the "dominant product in its category," though exactly how dominant he didn't say. He said so far the market is rather small, amounting to about 5% of the size of the market for traditional external hard drives.
Time Capsule is proving to be far and away the market leader, according to Baker, besting companies like Netgear, Linksys, D-Link and Buffalo Technologies.
Editor's note: With Mac sales growing at three times the industry average, it should come as no surprise Apple-branded peripherals, especially wireless networking add-ons, are selling well. A rising tide raises all boats equally...
