I still have plenty of minis to sell today.
May you beat yesterday's personal best many times over the next months!!
Woo Hoo - and all those cheerleading sounds.
Mac Mini, iPods of all sorts, iLife, iWorks, OS upgrades around mid-year, iMac G5, iTunes Music store buying by the millions of new iPod owners and Mac Mini owners, updated Powerbooks and eMacs, maybe even significantly more .Mac subscribers, xSan, xServe.
Hardware revs point upward
Software revs point upward
Services revs point upward
Music revs point upward
Will Apple make more money this year than last - even with potentially lower margins probably on the Shuffle and Mac Mini?
Will AAPL go up this year?
I hypthesize that it will. I am testing that hypothesis with shares.
There are some AAPl old-timers who think a lot Iif not all) of this is already priced in at $70 a share. Some of it undoubtedly is, so some caution is in order. Cautionary measures are in place. I gotta be honest though, I am doing some woo hoos here in the privacy of the internet :).
Here is hoping Apple can ramp up production rather rapidly and satisfy some of the demand that appears to be out there ASAP. When Apple stores are telling people that their best bet to get a Shuffle or a Mac Mini is via the online store (as I was told in Portland)--well, it does not help the retail store part of Apple.
