What's next for APPLE!? Apple always comes out with great technology that always seizes to amaze us. And they aren't stopping just quite yet! Everyone thought that the rumor was, Apple was going to come out with a MacBook touch. Not quite yet! Although that the new Macbook is not touch screen, Apple promotes that there are features that will surprise us with new engineering. Apple has once again beaten Windows (Vista especially) without even hurting their own company. Apple is apple, and it will always be a favorite to all of us. haha The announcements also serve as a reminder that Apple's top and bottom lines are still driven largely by sales of its computers even though the company has become more associated with its iPhone mobile telephone over the last two years.
In the company's fiscal third quarter ended July 31, nearly a 30% of Apple's revenue came from sales of its notebook computers, and 42% from sales of notebooks and desktops.
Apple Chief Operating Officer Tim Cook said the company was also hoping to take advantage of public dissatisfaction with software giant Microsoft Corp.'s ( MSFT) Vista operating system, which hasn't caught on with either corporate clients or consumers. Apple said it now has 18% of the U.S. retail computer market.
"I think it's fair to say that Vista hasn't lived up to everything Microsoft hoped it would," Cook said at the event. "Apple has been the beneficiary of this."
