2010's best-selling iTunes items revealed

FYI, this story is more than a year old

Apple has released information on what the world has been buying on iTunes over the course of the year.

“We're presenting you with the best and most notable in music, TV shows, Apps, movies, and podcasts,” said the company of its iTunes Rewind 2010 feature.

Looks like they called the iPhone App Game of the Year a bit too early though, as yesterday’s release of Infinity Blade is about to change mobile gaming forever.

In other iTunes news, Apple is reported to have tripled preview lengths of songs from 30 to 90 seconds in the US. Hopefully that tweak won't be too far off the New Zealand store.
