Released in October 2001, Apple's portable media player was a runaway success from the get-go, selling 125,000 by the end of the year and finally killing off the portable CD player. Fast forward to 2010 and Apple had sold 225 million iPods, having cornered the MP3 market with a 74% share.

A staggering 250 million Nokia 1100 handsets were sold from 2003 to 2009, mostly in developing countries, making it the biggest-selling mobile phone of the 2000s. In contrast, Apple shifted 42.5 million iPhones during the decade.

Easily the best-selling book of the 2000s, Dan Brown's gripping conspiracy-fiction novel hit the shelves in 2003. By 2010, over 80 million copies had been sold, beating the second best-seller of the decade, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, by a cool 15 million.

Earlier on in the decade, mobile phones were the preserve of hotshot executives, while everyone else, particularly in North America, relied on a pager like the Motorola Bravo to communicate on the move. Yet by the 2000s, only doctors and drug dealers were still using the things.

While it was first published in 1988, Brazilian writer Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist wasn't a global sensation until the 1990s. The best-selling novel of the decade, a total of 65 million copies of the allegorical tale were sold from 1990 to 1999.

The Nintendo Entertainment system was the decade's biggest-selling video game console. Just under 62 million units were sold in the 1980s, beating the rival Sega Genesis console by a comfortable 31 million. Super Mario Bros. was the decade's number one game.

Every nerd's most-wanted toy, the educational gadget with the robotic voice sold like hot cakes after it made a star appearance in 1982's E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, the decade's highest-grossing movie.

The Atari 2006 was launched in 1977 as the Atari Video Computer System. The first successful mass-market console, the gadget popularised fondly-remembered games such as Pac-Man, Pong and Combat.

The first properly modern color TV, Sony introduced the Trinitron in 1968. An instant success, the original 12-inch model outclassed the competition in terms of picture quality and ease of use. Sony went on to sell 100 million Trinitron TVs before the brand was ditched in 2008. 

The most wished-for doll of the decade in the USA, Canada and Down Under, Mattel's Barbie flew off toy store shelves during the 1960s, selling in the millions. In the UK, however, the more realistic-looking Sindy doll was more popular.

The decade's best-selling book and James Jones' debut novel, From Here to Eternity won the National Book Award and was made into a classic Oscar-winning movie starring Burt Lancaster and Deborah Kerr. 

The quintessential ballpoint pen was launched in France in December 1950 by entrepreneur Marcel Bich and was soon selling in the millions, hitting the North American market in 1959. By 2006, a whopping 100 billion Bic Cristal pens had been sold.

Production of many consumer goods ceased during World War II, including vacuum cleaners. Factories started making appliances again in 1945 and the Hoover Model 27, launched that same year, was North America's top-seller during the decade. The smaller, more affordable Hoover Senior was number one in the UK.

Controversial at the time, this racy 1944 historical novel topped the best-seller lists throughout the 1940s, selling three million copies in the USA alone. The book is also credited with popularising Amber as a girl's name during the latter half of the 20th century.

Percolators were the coffee makers of choice in households worldwide before they were usurped by drip coffee machines in the 1970s. During the 1940s, the biggest-selling percolator was Sunbeam's Coffeemaster.

Like many other consumer goods, automobile production ground to a halt during wartime and resumed in 1945. Chevrolet was the number one marque in North America during the decade, Austin was the UK's top-seller, while Holden dominated the market Down Under.

Spelling the end for manual washing machines, the Kenmore Automatic Washer was launched in the mid-1940s at Sears, Roebuck in the US. Despite its price tag of $239.95, a hefty $3,000 (£2.3k) in today's money, it became the best-selling washing machine of the decade in North America.
