Asymco analyst Horace Dediu has posted a comparison of iTunes accounts and Amazon Active Accounts.
During last quarter's earnings call, Apple CEO Tim Cook revealed that the company had 800 million registered iTunes accounts, most with a credit card. Dediu compares that to Amazon accounts in the chart below.
Notably, the number of registered iTunes accounts has skyrocketed of late. Many believe that Apple is working on a new mobile payments platform that will leverage these accounts and work with the company's new iBeacon technology.
