January was a slow month for Apple with iPod unit sales down by 14%. Even Mac unit sales were down by 6% as compared with last January according to a recent NPD data released. The Wall Street was expecting Mac sales to be off by only 4% and iPod sales off by 11%, according to Piper Jaffray’s Gene Munster.

According to a report, Munster has predicted that iPod sales should come around 9 to 10 million units. However, Munster finds something cheerful about iPod numbers even though expectations are that     unit sales would fall 6% to 15% by the end of the quarter. He was pleased by the average price for iPods in January, which was up by 4% as he had expected it to fall to 3%.
