  Highlights from Apple's Q1 results
    4.13 million Mac. 23% year over year growth and 8 times the PC industry growth average.
      50% of Mac growth was in Asia-Pacific region. On strong Macbook Air sales in the region. "Halo" effect from iPhone and iPad?
    Mac App store. 90 countries. Over 1,00 apps. 1 million downloads on 1st day.
      Aside, iOS App Store just had it's 10 Billionth download this weekend. Paper Glider
    iPod sales down 19.4 million from 21 million in the same period last year
      iPod touch made up 50% of all iPod sales and grew 27% year over year
      iPods still account for 70% of the MP3 (personal music player) market
    iTunes revenue was 1.1 Billion
      400,000 TV episodes and over 150,000 movies a day.
    iPhone unit sales up 86%
      16.2 million vs. 8.7 million last year
      Revenue from iPhone and related accessories was up. 10.47 billion this quarter compared to 5.58 billion last year
      Couldn't meet demand.
    iPad success continues
      Sold 7.3 million up 3 million
      4.61 billion in revenue from revenue from iPad and iPad accessories
    Retail sales almost doubled
      Up 95% bringing in 3.85 Billion in revenue vs. 1.97 billion last year.
      International retails sales exceed US retail sales.
    Apple is sitting on a mountain of $60 billion in cash
    China is big for Apple
      Up 4x from last year. 2.6 billion
      CDMA is definitely not all about Verizon
    Angels trump cannibals
      Yes the iPad is cannibalizing PC sales, but the halo effect seems to make up for it
      Apple's lower share in the PC market means there is less they lose.
        If someone buys an iPad instead of a netbook Apple doesn't really lose much do they?
    Asymco finds 65% of Apple's revenue came from iOS devices
      Not surprising. 20% off the sales were OS X (Mac and OS)
      Rest in iTunes, peripherals, services, etc.
  More iPad 2, iPhone 5, and iOS 4.3 details
    References to a “Back Facing 1MP Photo” for iPad in the iOS 4.3 beta 2
      Suggests possible a 1 MP rear facing camera instead of a higher quality one
      Possibly more focused on FaceTime video sharing than taking photos?

  EOL: Invisible iPhone 4
    OK not quite as cool as an invisible jet or man, but loosen a couple screws and add some paint thinner and you got yourself a window into your iPhone 4 (via Cult of Mac).
