PDF Pen 5
|
|
|
|
|
Redaction, and real redaction.
|
|
|
|
|
Feature found in some pricey high end tools. Less expensive tools say the have the feature, but really just block out the text.
|
|
|
|
|
PDF Pen gets the metadata as well. The underlying OCR and text.
|
|

|
Trial versions available.

Apple 4th Quarter Results
|
|
|
|
|
Before the Q and A Jobs said some things
|
|
|
|
|
I think he might listen to the show. :)
|
|
|
|
|
10" is the minimum size for a tablet based on Apple's research
|
|
|
|
|
7" tablet is a "tweener"
|
|
|
|
|
too small to offer significant advantages over a smartphone
|
|
|
|
|
screen can't best "describe" the apps
|
|
|
|
|
too big to offer portability advantages or replace smartphones
|
|
|
|
|
Tablet makers will replace 7" models within a year leaving developers and customers with abandoned products
|
|
|
|
|
Record setting numbers
|
|
|
|
|
Records for Mac, iPhone, and iPad unit sales
|
|
|
|
|
3.89 million Macs up 27% year over year
|
|
|
|
|
14.1 million iPhones up 91%
|
|
|
|
|
9.05 million iPods. Down 11%
|
|
|
|
|
4.19 million iPads.
|
|
|
|
|
250,000 Apple TVs
|
|
|
|
|
20.34B in revenue resulting in 4.3B in quarterly profit
|
|
|
|
|
Compared to last year which was 12.21B in revenue and 2.53B in profit
|
|
|
|
|
Gross margins were down from a year ago at 36.9% vs. 41.8%
|
|
|
|
|
Largely due to new iPhone designs and aggressive pricing on iPads
|
|
|
|
|
57% of revenue came from International sales.
|
|
|
|
|
Q and A highlights
|
|
|
|
|
Jobs believes iPad will effect notebook business. If not now at some point.
|
|
|
|
|
Effect, but not replace
|
|
|
|
|
New model of computing. General purpose, but "big"
|
|
|
|
|
iPads already out sold Mac units in this quarter.
|
|
|
|
|
Surprised at business adoption of iPad
|
|
|
|
|
Apple TV selling well so far
|
|
|
|
|
$99 price point and Airplay update making it more "enticing"
|
|
|
|
|
Plans for the $51B cash on hand
|
|
|
|
|
A strategic opportunity will come along and Apple can react.
|
|
|
|
|
Market share aspirations and competition
|
|
|
|
|
Jobs reiterated that Apples goal is to make the "best" products that they know how to make
|
|
|
|
|
Make them in a way that they are easy to use
|
|
|
|
|
Apple doesn't aspire to be the biggest, just the best.
|
|
|
|
|
"Relentless improvement" of products and will lower prices when possible.
|
|
|
|
|
Will not chase market share if it means making an lesser product.
