iTunes hits 250 million downloads
Apple Computer said Monday that it has sold more than 250 million songs through its iTunes Music Store as daily downloads reached an all-time high of 1.25 million songs.

The company said that its iTunes Music Store, now available in 15 countries, accounts for 70 percent of the global music market.
