I guess you've been ironic
. Those iMacs are toys for kids, I couldn't use one of those bloody things to do graphics with their infamous yellow screens.
"and we have several more extraordinary products in the pipeline for this year"
That will be all class.

To me several = at least 3 and as many as say 6
I say 2 which still would be awesome. Maybe a new revision of the Apple TV and a iphone nano???
"Some of this was adding additional carriers in some key countries."
They should try that in the US. And tethering.

apple tv and nano? that would suck..
edit: sorry, iphone nano would be pretty cool.. I thought you said ipod nano.
However, these guys were talking about US sales. I _think_ IDC was quite far off, but theoretically these numbers could be right, if Apple sold 1.1 million Macs in the USA and 1.84 million everywhere else. Unlikely, but not impossible. Maybe Apple publishes numbers that we can check, but they usually do Stores / USA except stores / Europe except stores and so on to make it a bit harder for the competition to find out exact numbers.
A while ago someone at Apple said how the decided how many iPods to build: "We took the biggest number we could think of and added 30 percent". Should have done that with the iPad
its seems the initial demand has caught them out big time, from the sound of it rather that make a big push at more production they shifted the world stock to cover the US demand, then if it keeps up then increase production.
nice move
hmmmm
Ya know. Now that the ipad is out, and is a hit, and people still have there iphones / ipod touches.. I been noticing something....
The apps in the app store (the good ones I should say):
1. are pretty much full featured like OS X software
2. a lot smaller to install (ie only a few mb. instead of like a couple hundred mb to 1gb; like real OS X applications/software)
3. Many OS X third party developers are now porting their apps to the ipad
4. Multi-tasking coming to iphone OS 4.
5. More emphasis on cloud computing
6. iphone / ipad apps have way less of a learning curve
7. iphone / ipad apps are fully configured; no futzing around with installs, just download and begin using
I really wonder if Apple is going to make a total paradigm shift.....
1. Low end consumer notebooks & netbooks, plus ipad, iphone, and ipod touch that run iphone OS and apps from the app store.
2. High end notebooks, towers, desktops, and servers to run full professional OS X applications. for those that require it - ie studios, businesses, graphic artists / publishers

exactly
how can they justify any of the information they deliver when they are off that much? Either they have a faulty system for computing such things, or they have faulty information they collected. Either way - Fail.

yup...
I think you are on the right track. The 'computer' as we have it now, needs to be kicked in the butt. And Apple has done some interesting things, advancing input devices, platforms and SIMPLICITY. It's getting to be that my parents could run an iPad with almost no 'tech' calls to me! This is how it should be. And Microsoft is in dangerous territory as they have stopped moving forward and want to protect their dynasty. Much like Adobe. And that's one thing Apple has been good at, moving forward.
