Gotta keep in mind Apple sold X number of iPod Touches to the military. I'm guessing that helped the iPod sales.
In any case another good quarter for Apple..

Trust me, it is, especially because economies are so much more interconnected nowadays...this crisis is far from over, unfortunately. But let's not talk about it...what matters is that Apple rules...and MS is DEAD.
Really impressed to see that iPod sales were up over the same quarter last year. I guess the new Nano really is that good.
Also very happy to see that the results were better than expectations, hence the stock is going up.
Can't wait for it to be back up in the $200 range again.

Apple should focus more on expanding internationall where there's more room for growth than in the US.
Maybe I'll get a new Mac when my current one stops working.
If Apple sells something that's worth my money.

They're (or should I say we're) mostly loving iPods and iPhones. The Macs are still a hard sell overseas, with market share in the low single digits.
MS has a *very* strong hold on International sales. That is because MS is big and has others sell their **** for them (windows) where as Apple is small company that only sells thru their limited number of stores worldwide and online.
It be easier to become big in the US and let their weight in the US be the right leverage to go stronger over seas.
These results are so spectacular that MS should better fold its whole marketing campaign...it's useless...
I see that there are still no negative votes to the thread...so before any moronic PC fanboy does it, I might push that button first...

I'm quite sure that X is merely a blip on the radar in relation to the overall ipods sold.
The overall market is down and the worse thing for PC makers is falling prices because of increasing amount of netbooks being sold.
Also PC makers have to scramble around reduce cost and be the cheapest to attract more customers.
Apple is KING in this industry right now. It is unbelievable how well this company continues to do. I'm still blown away by how thoroughly they stormed the mobile phone market, having never previously made a cell phone in their history, and now even the big boys in the cell industry are doing all they can to emulate them. Un-frackin-believable.
I'm breaking all the diversification rules with my IRA retirement account. I have over a quarter of my portfolio in Apple and they continue to keep me confident. I know emotion rules this stock price on a day to day basis, but in the long run they will rise with their success.
