Apple is notorious for underselling their expectations. Expect $8.0-$8.5 billion in revenues.
Its a good thing that Apple appears to have a backup plan if something happens to Steve.
4.4 millions iPhones is pretty good but nothing compared to the number of iPods. I think Apple is working on that and might one day have the same number of iPhones as iPods sold. But if they want that to happen, they need to come out with an IPHONE NANO!

Desktop sales down 25%....
nothing at all to do with the fact that the mac mini, imac, and pro are all out of date and now appear over priced.
some more than others *cough* mini *cough*
No wonder they can maintain >30% margins when you can sell 18 month old computer gear for more money now in real terms than it was actually worth 18 months ago.

I'm pleased for you that Apple builds a product for you, your wife and your friends, please consider extending that same courtesy to others. Some of us need a little more than a pokey little glossy screen to do their work on, are heavily invested in a Mac-based workflow and would perhaps like to spend money with the company but not on outdated machines and displays. That's all.
Right now, I'm just disappointed. If I was in the buying position I was in in my last position, looking to equip the studio, I'd be furious with the foot-dragging.
So, to all those investors out there, sure these results might look great but they could be even better.
that in no way implies it is slipping....he said they were extremely excited about it.
Soon, but with the Intel Atom... (runs and hides....)
One of those iPods is mine....
Work got me a $100 gift card for Christmas and I got a Nano and Nike+
It's because Steve's had to take a break from coding for it
You don't realize how close to a true statement that is.

Yes they could. If I had a modern $500 Mini and $1K Mac upgradable desktop to sell, I could double my sales. Easily. I just don't understand Apple's refusal to build them.
The demand for them is incredible. If Woz was CEO, we would have them.
So if Apple was able to offer a $1,900 phone rather then the current $2,000 phone they'd sell more phones? Yes they do cost (about) that much the $199 you pay in the stor is only a down payment on a two year contract. If they want to sell more phones they will have to work on the total contract price but I don't see that happening.
Put it this way what if Applw where able to finance the $199 up front cost over 24 mounths by charging you only $10 more per month. That would in many cosummer's minds make the iPhone "free" But would they sell more phones? Whould people sign a $2,240 contract to get a "free" iPhone?
The things coming out in Snow Leopard are predominantly engineering driven... I can assure you Steve had little to do with most, if any, of them.
It was on the slides of their Director of Engineering of Unix Technologies.
Link.
It was hardly a rumour.
If he had good/medium news it then why would he have been cagey about timeframes. On schedule would be sufficient — especially as we don't know what the schedule is.
If Snow Leopard is just round the corner, then why are they commencing sale of a box set at the end of this month featuring Leopard?
