572904 2007-07-26 01:39:00 Apple announced their financial results for the 3rd Quarter of fiscal 2007. Apple posted revenue of $5.41 billion and net quarterly profit of $818 million, or $.92 per diluted share. These results compare to revenue of $4.37 billion and net quarterly profit of $472 million, or $.54 per diluted share, in the year-ago quarter. Gross margin was 36.9 percent, up from 30.3 percent in the year-ago quarter. International sales accounted for 40 percent of the quarter's revenue.

Apple shipped 1,764,000 Macintosh computers, representing 33 percent growth over the year-ago quarter and exceeding the previous company record for quarterly Mac shipments by over 150,000. The Company also sold 9,815,000 iPods during the quarter, representing 21 percent growth over the year-ago quarter.

Steve Jobs said "We're thrilled to report the highest June quarter revenue and profit in Apple's history, along with the highest quarterly Mac sales ever" and expects to sell one million iPhones by the end of the 4th quarter.

Apple's financial results will be webcast live.

572906 2007-07-26 04:52:00 I read somewhere the other day that the number of Apple machines accessing the internet has stayed pretty steady for the last year while the amount of machines running Microsoft Windows have risen. CYaBro (73)

6% Market share for computers and 75% market share for music players. There are initially aiming for 1% of the mobile phone market.

That would be computer world. The number of machines running windows has probably risen because there are 500million+ people using it around the globe so a 4%-6% OS refresh would not be a very big deal.

I am mainly posting the results because I told beeswax34 that I would post both the Microsoft and Apple financial results when they became available rather than because I thought you might be interested.

572913 2007-07-26 07:17:00 Low initial customer activations according to AT&T but some 270,000 sales over the opening weekend according to Apple who are expecting to sell 1 million units before the end of this quarter.
Did I miss anything?
