I've downloaded 167, someone stop me, no wait, don't. Most are 59p here in the UK, amazing value and fun.

Running in the face of an article like this are the recently published analytical reports predicting doom-and-gloom for Apple and its earnings. The frigtards who reign over Wall Street's analyst desks are completely clueless about how Apple makes money, and about the continued market potential for its products and services. And as such, they continue to spew out often-biased, and usually clueless reports arrived at by anatomic extraction rather than good old fashioned reasoning and solid homework.

Few analysts (and the good ones are typically amateurs who put the professionals to shame) clearly understand the revenue model for the iPhone and iPod touch. Few analysts clearly understand how much cash is generated by iPhone subscriptions, and how much that cash continues to grow each month. And fewer still understand how much profit Apple could be racking up from the iTunes Store - for music, books, videos, apps and more.

While I must be mindful that Apple's share of any app sold is a percentage from which other costs must be taken out, there is still a ton of revenue that they taken in at net of total sales. By setting the pricing bar as low as they did, Apple has generated vast demand. My hope is that this is helping developers as well. Only time will tell.

I hope this next quarterly call, Apple again puts the analysts in their place and blows through earnings. Sadly, the clueless analysts will again look in dour fashion on Apple's projected earnings, and drive the stock price down - again. But I am a believer in the words of Warren Buffett and Peter Lynch. A stock's true value eventually tracks its earnings. The two don't move necessarily in lock-step. But over time, I firmly believe that my patience will be rewarded. And that's more than almost any analyst truly understands.

@Anti-Analyst

Don't worry, the analists are not unaware of the offset iphone earnings, they'll be talking about them when it suits them, when they start to show real growth in the figures. |Then they will be talking about how that is really deferred from previous sales, and so should be ignored.

The 'real' figures are much lower and stockholders should panic.

Apple is an oasis of reliable profit, NOW from multiple sources. REAL investors (the type who buys a bargain for long-term profit) should be buying more AAPL and holding on to what they already have. But if you need the cash to pay your mortgage next month, don't expect any quick gains.

A billion dollars in revenue from the App Store means Apple made $300,000,000 minus operating expenses. Seems like the iTunes Store is going to become a profit center after all, to add to the profit from Mac, iPod, and iPhone sales.
