AAPL Q4 earnings announced, $1.01 per share
1.12 million iPhones sold in Apple's fiscal Q4. After-hours trading has AAPL at $182+ per share.Analyst estimates were at about $0.82/share and anywhere over 1M iPhones sold, so this is beyond expectations in every respect. 2.164M Macs sold, which is over the Wall Street target of 2 million computers... this is the first 2M+ Mac quarter ever for Apple. 10.2 million iPods sold.
Yee-ikes. Here's the press release. Join us at 5 pm ET for the conference call liveblog.
"Apple ended the fiscal year with $15.4 billion in cash and no debt," said Peter Oppenheimer, Apple's CFO. "Looking ahead to the first quarter of fiscal 2008, we expect revenue of about $9.2 billion and earnings per diluted share of about $1.42."

I just read the 8K which is available on the Apple website. The numbers are awesome.
My personal favorite number is: desktop units up by 30%. Apple is still a computer company.

Gordon (#3) -- maybe they'll take a cue from adobe and start all over with some new naming convention, although i can't for the life of me even come up with something clever to use as an example.

@Gordon - what defines "when it really becomes Mac OS XI" ?
The only time it will "really" be OS XI is when Apple, Inc releases a package that they call OS XI v1.0.
Before then, they are free to have as many major (v10.x.0) and minor (v10.x.y) revisions as they wish; there's no reason Apple couldn't, or shouldn't, have MacOS X v10.10.1 or even v10.22.101.
Although, some customers might object to a 101st revision of MacOS X 10.22 "Domestic Siamese" (they ran out of big cats after MacOS X 10.12 "Bornean Clouded Leopard").
