>>Jobs: Apple sales hit $5.7B in Dec. quarter (AAPL) By John Shinal
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch)

Apple Computer Inc. (AAPL) Chief Executive Steve Jobs said Tuesday the company had revenue of $5.7 billion for the quarter ended in December, higher than the $5.04 billion expected by analysts surveyed by Thomson First Call. Speaking to an audience at the company's Macworld conference in San Francisco, Jobs also said the company sold 14 million iPods and 1.25 million Macintosh computers during the quarter, and that the company's retail stores generated $1 billion in sales. Apple shares rose more than 4% in midday trading. Apple is expected to report full results for the quarter on Jan. 18.<<

In response:

"Apple blew away revenue and iPod estimates," Soleil-Cross research analyst Shannon Cross said. "And if you extrapolate the numbers, they will likely beat EPS (earnings per share) estimates as well."
The iPod devices have quickly gained the lion's share of the digital music-machine market and helped send Apple stock up 145 percent since the start of 2005.
Jupiter Research digital music analyst Michael Gartenberg said the iPod's strong holiday sales provide more evidence that rivals are having a tough time in their bid to unseat Apple as the dominant player in the digital music business.
"Apple clearly had a runaway fourth quarter --14 million is an incredible number for them to have sold," he said. "It clearly solidifies their position -- not just as the leading player, but the dominant player."
Apple has also bolstered its lead with several versions of the iPod, such as the lower-priced Nano and Shuffle. It introduced a video iPod last October along with a deal with Walt Disney Co. to sell television shows such as "Desperate Housewives."
Analysts have credited the popularity of the devices with reversing Apple's fortunes"

I'll just chime in and mention that I build, Configure, and support Video Editing, Computer Animation, and On Air Design/Graphics machines at MTV Networks and we bitches swear by our Macs hands down without a doubt. iPod may have been (or I should say is) the key to Apple's financial boom, but dont think for a second that that has anything to do with why Mac lovers swear by their machines. And one button or lack of software are very outdated issues that are non-existant save for obvious ultra-customized or specific industry applications which are perfectly legitimate reasons in a case where they are true. For example, Mac OSX is still unable to run spyware and computer virus's and worms. If you use those applications of course you'd need Windows, that's common sense.

Hey, you'll get no arguement from me about which is the safer OS... Windows is a mal-wear ridden OS and the Mac OS platform has no such problems, none, zero, zilch. Mac owners also have the luxury of not having to run virus and spyware dectection software constantly in the backround and having it rob valuable resources. Not to mention the Windows update, constant security patches etc... Crap, now I'm sounding like a level 10 nerd....

Re: new macs

^^^^^ As and official Apple Ableton Faggot I have two things to say.

1) I have virtually no problems on my powerbook with ableton and ZERO on my Dual G5 at work.

2) With the new intel Mac's Ableton will be smoking even faster than I run to smoke pole!

Re: new macs

i want the new imac. that thing looks smoking. for the price to cost ... it is worth to get an apple. the only thing is ... it is a very small apple world. i can not wait when apple ports it's OS to pc ... that is the future for apple. they have already took the first step.
