Apple's for the Children

First let me just extend a big "THANK YOU" to Gizmodo.com for the picture. I don't think anything quite sums up this piece quite like The Breakfast Club holding up an iPhone.

Piper Jaffray & Co. released their annual survey of America's teens to get pulse of consumer spending habits; big surprise: the youngs love Apple!

Here's a basic run down of what the Office of No-Shit uncovered:
1. 15% of the teens surveyed own an iPhone. That's an increase from 8% last year.
2. 22% plan on buying an iPhone within the next 6 months.
3. 87% (up a whole percent from last year) already own iPods - all flavors.
4. Of the 40% of teens that legally download music; 93% of them use iTunes.

So in case you have trouble wrapping your head around what all this means - if you're planning on shopping for any youngin's in your life chances are you'll be swinging by the local Apple Store this holiday season.
