“A week after Oppenheimer’s report, the Street’s Q4 revenue consensus, according to Thomson Financial, was $18.29 billion — a measly 1.6% beat,” P.E.D. reports. “Three months and a few million iPhones and iPads later, most Apple watchers have changed their tune.”
P.E.D. reports, “Of the nine blogger-analysts we polled, all but two expect Apple to report earnings of $20 billion or more.”

Nice revenue and all but will it stop Apple’s stock from being so damn volatile? Will a nice fat quarter get the stock up to $320? I hope all this excitement doesn’t get out of hand, raise expectations too high and cause the share price to drop.

You guys are scaring me with your unbridled enthusiasm. I don’t think it’s ever been this positive.

The mock funeral Microsoft recently held in Redmond at the iPhone 4’s expense was apropos only because ironically it was their own funeral they were staging. “Bring out yer Ballmer dead!”
If there ever was the flip side of Apple’s relevance today it’s Microsoft complete irrelevance tomorrow.

We will celebrate when what is happening to iPhones “and” iPads will happen to Macs, desktop and portable machines. That moment is coming behind all what we are seeing now.

Here in Finland I asked few salesman who just got their license to sell Macs that how is it doing. They said that over 15% of the computers they sell are Macs and they are just starting to learn Macs. These two work for different companies and we still don’t have iPads here in Finland. They both said the same thing and pointed out that prosentage is increesing fast.

I know what you mean but this is the new reality. LOL Almost too good to be true as no long-time Mac/Apple fan ever dreamed of Apple being in the position they’re in now.
But I truly believe that Apple is just getting started. It’s not just about what Apple has *done* or is doing now, but how Jobs has positioned Apple for the future. A lot of people say things like “what goes up must come down” and that Apple has reached its peak, but I see absolutely no signs that the competition has anything that threatens Apple’s continued growth.
Apple has some pretty big competitors with a lot of resources and their own particular strengths: Google and Microsoft in the key OS platform arena and the likes of Samsung, HP, LG, Sony, Dell, Nokia, etc. in the hardware space. And Amazon in retail and Nintendo in games, etc.
But let’s look closely at all of the competitors. Who of these guys can provide what Apple does? The tight and seamless hardware-software integration? The content? The elegant industrial design? The base of apps and ecosystem across the entire product line? Will a competitor that has even 20% of what Apple has please stand up?
Even beyond that in the operations side of things (supply chain), who can buy the volume of key components like flat-panel screens and memory chips like Apple can? Will all the Android and WP7 device makers pull their resources together to buy these things in volume when they are all trying to pummel each other to death?
It’s the positioning of the Apple brand and its ecosystem that makes the future even brighter. Of course, Apple has to continue to innovate and execute without any major hiccups to maintain that position, but based on history of the past decade, I think it’s reasonable to expect that Apple will continue doing what they’ve been doing.

One of the biggest problems Apple had in the past was production and quality. They’ve solved a lot of these issue by outsourcing all production. This allows them to focus on making fantastic products. They work closely with the manufacturers to ensure quality and supply but they don’t have to spend resources manage the production.They must have to pay for it but by leaving it to the partners who know what they are doing. They can focus on what they need to do for supporting current products or new exciting products.
