It's beginning to look like Apple may have had a very, very merry Christmas. Not that it should surprise anyone given how many of their products were on year-end "best-of" lists. But some data that has started to come in over the past few days points to Apple's Christmas surge once again being led by the mainstays: the iPhone and iPod touch (and probably the iPad as well). Since yesterday, developers have been tweeting and messaging about huge spikes in downloads of their apps on Christmas. How huge? Just look at the chart in this post . We're talking two to three times normal numbers. That particular graph came thanks to data from MixPanel , a Y Combinator startup that specializes in iOS analytics . We've since confirmed with the company that on the apps they track, they're seeing the same "2-3x in app download/sales across the board."
