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.
