Apple reported record iPhone sales and a 15% increase in net profits (excerpt): Apple defied the economic crisis and reported $8.34 billion in sales and a net profit of $1.23 billion for its (fiscal) 3rd quarter. The numbers represent a 15% increase in quarterly profit. Indeed the company stated that it cannot meet the demand for iPhones and Macs. Apple sold 5.2 million iPhones in the last quarter, a figure that is 7 times what it sold the year before. iPhones are also doing well in the enterprise. Apple says that close to 20% of Fortune 100 firms have bought at least 10,000 iPhones or more. So much for the “conventional wisdom” that Apple never does well in the enterprise.
Meanwhile, there are rumors of a new iPod Touch with camera and microphone. If it turns out to be true, the new iPod Touch would boost VOIP and multimedia apps.
