That's far more than the $1.11 a share that analysts were looking for. But revenue was a bit of a disappointment, even though it jumped 27% to $7.9 billion.</description><dc:language>en</dc:language><generator>CommunityServer 2007.1 (Build: 20917.1142)</generator><item><title>re: Apple profit up on hot iPhone sales</title><link>http://blogs.moneycentral.msn.com/topstocks/archive/2008/10/21/apple-profit-up-but-sales-disappoint.aspx#186325</link><pubDate>Fri, 31 Oct 2008 13:26:13 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">e8f7cd84-7062-45ca-8a00-3f24dfc10bb9:186325</guid><dc:creator>Let's be honest people</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Things are that bad...People use primarily CREDIT CARDS to pay for these $400 phones...For many people, Credit Cards are used as EMERGENCY or MASKING purposes. Think of how many teenagers and college students plus young professionals there are with IPHONES...let&amp;#39;s be honest, how many of the MILLIONS of them actually pay in cash hmmmmm...I&amp;#39;m willing to bet that market accounts for more than 50% of the purchasing demographic. Please people, how many people do you know, that don&amp;#39;t have the money to spend, blow it away on garbage anyway????? No one likes to admit there struggling.&lt;/p&gt;

The economy is not that bad if millions are buying products that we dont really need....If the economy was that bad people would not buy these products...something to think about.&lt;/p&gt;
