Liveblogging the Apple earnings call

We're on the line live for the Apple FY07 Third Quarter earnings call, starting up in just a few minutes at 5pm Eastern. Apple is expected to announce some big numbers, and we should get an idea of what they expect from the iPhone in the next quarter or so. More updates as we post them.

If you want to join in, Apple's got a quicktime link, so hit it and let the big numbers hit your ears at the same time they do us.

5:08pm: Welcome to the conference call. Here we go.

5:10pm: Peter Oppenheimer: record-breaking max sales and continued strong demand for iPod. Net income up 73%, huge numbers overall.

5:11pm: Apple's growth rate more than 2 1/2 times the predicted growth rate for the quarter. Mac notebooks up 42%. 9.8 million iPods, 31% growth over the quarter.

5:12pm: 71.5% share of MP3 players are iPods. iTunes surpassed Amazon and Target.

5:13pm: 270,000 iPhones sold, 146,000 iPhones activated. Some problems during the first week, and we would like to apologize. Since then, AT&T has corrected the cause, and we are experiencing high percentage of problem-free activation.

More after the break.
