Good to see Apple have down well with "one of the best profit's in
history"
and selling over 6million iPods for the quarter,...not bad!

... and yet it's not good enough for Wall Street, where Apple's
highest ever quarter earnings are seen as "disappointing".

"U.S. stock futures were down in early trading, indicating a lower
opening for stocks, after Apple (Research) reported the disappointing
fiscal fourth-quarter sales after the market close Tuesday. Futures
slipped further after the U.S. Energy Information Administration said
it sees higher oil prices in 2006, as well as a 48 percent rise in
natural gas heating bills this winter."
At least Apple are no longer "beleaguered"... for the moment anyway.
Well, with this sort of failure, who needs success?
