22 Jul 08 New Products from Apple, Possibly a MacBook Touch
Like everyone else, Apple posted their earnings for the last quarter of a profit about $1.07 billion, or $1 share, on sales of $7.46 billion for the Q3 of the fiscal year. Despite that Apple’s stocks dropped as people fear Steve Jobs’s health.
Apple managed to sell almost 2.5 computers, over 11 million iPods and over 700k iPhones. That’s before the 3G iPhone hit the market.
Chief financial officer Peter Oppenheimer said that the last quarter ending in September will not see the same profit margin. Besides the back to school season, a time when prices drop and special offers increase, Apple is going to launch new products. They are going to spend a lot for them and offer them for really affordable prices. This will lower the profit margin for the Q4 of the fiscal year.
Are we talking here about a possible Apple tablet? Are we talking about a MacBook Touch? After all, with all those patents and with all their thinking out of the box, isn’t that the direction they are heading too? Imagine an iPhone about 3 to 5 times larger. How is that for a fantastic laptop? How much would you pay for it?
And what other product could it be as they clearly suggested it’s something the competition doesn’t already have. Beware Microsoft! Look out Dell! Apple is going to surprise you by October.

Doesn’t anyone see what I see? Apple did not only revolutionize the music and cell phone market, it revolutionized the way software applications are being created! Soon Apple will be selling larger versions of an iphone that have the capabilities of full fledged laptops. Great you say? Others can do this too. BUT they will not have the leverage that Apple has in the way software will be distributed for their units , not to mention the price point and how intuitive those apps are for mobility, lifestyle and efficiency. A whole separate economy of apps is maturing and end users simply click install. WOW. Imagine that on a computer! How much for an app? Hmm most are under a buck, many under $5 and well look at all the freebies! No messy installer files, worry about viruses, and best of all if you purchase an app you can always retrieve it from a single sources later. Single source? Oh yeah, the unit and itunes make Apple the guardians and the gate for software. Awesome. So now more people will need a “Macbook Tablet” in their hands. Many have been reluctant to switch from PCs but that was when software was bought, downloaded, purchased in stores, etc and at higher costs and with many cumbersome installers. Things will be different. App developers are getting rich. Do you see this new revolution coming??
this is really cool
