The iPod Profits to Exceed $1 Billion?

During a long-awaited conference announced for today, Apple will surely announce, (among other things of course), its profit obtained from the iPod sales, and this figure could exceed, for the first time ever, $1 billion!

The record is not far fetched if we think about the effect Apple's player has had on both the music industry and the Cupertino company's overall sales. It has been established many times that the iPod has boosted the sales of Mac systems, the impact on the computers' market share being more and more important.

Returning to the iPod, the sales from the last quarter have exceeded 8.5 million units, a Bloomberg study says. However, this is not a reason of joy, because, according to the analysts, Apple has reached a popularity peak with its iPod, and now, a period of downfall is expected.

Regardless of iPod's faith, Apple still ranks high at the stock market, the specialists recommending players to acquire a large stock package or to keep the existent one. None of the experts advised players to sell the Apple shares, their value three-folding since last year, not to mention that this year was recorded a 56%.

Still, the outcome of the already famous introductive formula "One more thing..." used by Steve Jobs is much more interesting than the stock results.
