Which companies are likely to have a good Christmas and fourth quarter? A look at Amazon’s (AMZN) "Best Sellers" lists may say something.

In the "Electronics" category the Apple (AAPL) iPod, Gamin (GRMN) GPS devices, and Canon cameras take up most of the top 20 spots. The Microsoft (MSFT) Zune comes in at No. 12.

If the list is any indication, the portion of Apple’s earnings coming from iPods in the fourth calendar quarter should be unusually strong.
