Wow. Terrific revenue growth and Mac sales growth. Would appear at first blush to bode very well.

Great news, but I wonder how long Apple can sustain these numbers for - eventualy they'll have to slow down, or begin to drop. Although, with the iPod video coming out soon, maybe not... ;)
I think the move to Intel will help these figures as well, in gettnig more switchers to the platform. :cool:

Wow, that is awesome. With growth like that there market share should be going up shouldn't it?
Now about those iPod "killers", they seem to have done the reverse and made it more popular.

We may think it's great, but the markets think it's awful. AAPL is down more than $5.00 a share in after-hours trading.

Looks like everyone who bought the stock in anticipation for the Q4 results sold. Almost an hour after market close the stock is trading down almost 10 percent and falling. I'm looking at Nasdaq Level II quotes and the buyers are all lined up at 46 a share. I guess I am glad I stayed out of it the last couple weeks. :)
Mind you, buying at $40 a couple months ago and then selling just before market close today might have been nice. ;)
Hopefully these after hour trades will mean nothing tomorrow. I'd like to see Apple continue to grow.
