Apple just announce the last three month sales results and it's a huge progression compared to last year same period: + $63 millions compared to - $8 millions . This result is even the best since 4 years.
This huge success seems to be due to the growing success of iPod and the iTunes Music Store. Our dear Steve Jobs even see a bright future for Apple, betting on the long lasting success of the new products line and the exponential implant of OSX platform.
