Spurred by another quarter of strong Mac and iPod sales, Apple reported on Wednesday earnings that surged past Wall Street estimates.
The graying iMac should take centre stage this week, but will the appearance be its swan song?
Apple has been successful with products such as the iMac, but a recent drop in sales combined with problems in marketing and design have cast doubt over its future direction.
While many people have been calling for Apple Computer to make bold changes to its iMac line, the computer maker's wild new colors may not be what most consumers and industry analysts had in mind.
Apple Computer gave CEO Steve Jobs US$1 in regular salary and an airplane in fiscal year 2001, while other executives each received one million stock options in a down year for the Mac maker.
Apple Computer pulled back the curtain on a new generation of its iBook portable today. Apple CEO, Steve Jobs told media and industry analysts that the new machine "takes design cues" from the Titanium PowerBook G4 during a presentation at the Apple campus in California two days ago. Acknowledgng Apples renewed focus on the education market, he went on to tout the new system as a boon to schools.
In an indication that consumers want faster wireless networking, the company sold 150,000 AirPort Extreme base stations during the first quarter.
The Mac maker hopes its new portable device will generate a buzz for its home entertainment products.
