Apple (AAPL-NASDAQ) issued earnings:  $0.87 EPS and sales $5.26 Billion revenues versus $0.64 EPS and revenues of $5.17 Billion.  As far as comparing its guidance to next quarter, the compay expects $0.66 EPS and sees revenues $5.1 Billion versus analysts expectations of $0.67 EPS and $5.45 Billion.

Forrest Gump’s fruit company shipped 1,517,000 Macintosh® computers and 10,549,000 iPods during the quarter, representing 36 percent growth in Macs and 24 percent growth in iPods over the year-ago quarter.  Gross margin was 35.1%, up from 29.8% in the year-ago quarter and international sales accounted for 43% of the quarter’s revenue.

STEVE JOBS sticks with the June iPhone launch date, although this says late June: "We’re very excited about the upcoming launch of iPhone in late June, and are also hard at work on some other amazing new products in our pipeline."

Shares are up more than 6% in initial reaction to a new yearly and all-time high.  This is a $102.00 price in after-hours, and that is after closing up more than 2% on the day.  The old high was $97.80 before this.
