Amazon.com mute on rumoured iPod challenge

A news report cited music industry executives as negotiating with Seattle-based Amazon on content, customised MP3 players, and an online music store to compete with Apple’s popular iPod and iTunes online store.

An Amazon.com spokeswoman said the company would not comment on "rumour and speculation".

Apple, based in Cupertino, California, has reportedly sold more than 42 million iPods, making it the most popular MP3 music player in the world.

In the final quarter of 2005, ending with the Christmas holiday, iPod sales were said to average about 100 per minute.
