Bloody amazing. Two million iPods and 836,000 Macs. Makes you wonder what the Christmas quarter is going to bring.
Amazing! After market price up over $3.00!
Way to go Apple!
This explains the 4 week wait for my iMac G5, all I can say is WOOHOO, keep it up Cupertino!!!!
I was wrong, and I’ve never been so happy.
I was expecting 1.15 million iPods, which would still have exceeded the record by 25%, so for the actuals to be 2 million is a hell of an acheivement.
Also, to sell over 800,000 computers in a stock-constrained quarter deserves some praise – roll on the holidays.
Quick, someone tell Rob Enderle and Paul Thurrott to blow it out their respective arses!
Go Apple, go!
over 2 mill? good lord!
Apple has raised guidance for the next quarter… which means better results are expected. The iMac G5 has only been a trickle so far… watch out. (And the HPod has only started to ship).
Fine!!
I was expecting/hoping for 1.6 million iPods or more … but this is incredible.
“The Mac is back”… In the form of an iPod.
The iBook and PowerBook sales must have been phenomenal.
Q404 Units Sold Year/Year Change
iMac 229,000 -9%
iBook 238,000 74%
PowerMac 156,000 -29%
PowerBook 213,000 21%
iPod 2,016,000 500%
…amid the cacophonous roars of excitement, a nearly inaudible sigh escapes the collective breaths of a hundred iPod-killer designers as the insurmountable task of succeeding the iPod throne finally begins to be seen.
What will the Motley Fool guy say next???
Is there any way to poop this Enderle and Thurrawthroat?
