Q4 by the numbers: 34 percent Mac increase
Japan had moderate growth, with 72,000 units shipping the quarter compared to 62,000 in the year ago quarter, but fell 11% in terms of revenue. Retail also displayed strong growth, with 473,000 Macs moving through Apple's stores compared with 323,000 in the year-ago quarter. In all, Apple showed 34 percent growth in CPU unit sales compared with the year-ago quarter and 29 percent revenue growth.
The iPod showed both sequential and year-over-year growth, selling more than 10.2 million units in the fourth quarter, compared with 8.729 million in the year-ago quarter and 9.815 million the third quarter of 2007; 17 percent growth year-over-year and 4 percent growth sequentially. The iPhone shipped 1.119 million units in the fourth quarter, compared with 270,000 in the previous quarter when only two days worth of post-launch sales data were tracked.
Apple also showed growth in software, service and other sales, which represented $430 million in revenue in the fourth quarter vs. $316 million in the year-ago quarter -- 36 percent growth.

are they going to ship an Xmac? That's all we care about!
Although saying the iPhone had "Tremendous" growth compared to a two-day sale last quarter is stretching it.
But, if you want to look at it pessimistically (I normally wouldn't think of doing such a thing...), Apple sold 113,000 iPhones a day in Q3, and that has fallen all the way down to 12,296 a day in Q4, a 98.5% drop. At this rate, they'll be lucky to sell just 1 the entire Q4 of 2009.
Google and Apple are now worth more than Microsoft, not bad at all. Pretty nice growth for the Mac, just make osX available to all PC's and Micro$* is dead meat.
Yes, I am actually. How about yourself?
What's the point of this? "Hey, let's pick two companies, combine them (even though they have little cross-company work), and combine them to a third company!"
5 years ago i put all my savings solely on Apple and still holding on to most of them, i honestly believe Apple will take over gross of the computer market. Not the game consoles but portable's for sure and maybe also the desktop.
