Apple boasts of "really great new products in the pipeline for 2010"

Apple is continuing to thrive despite the ongoing financial crisis.  Thanks to improved sales of its Mac computers and the ongoing success of the iPhone, Apple yesterday announced third quarter results that were far better than expected.  And Steve Jobs has promised that it won't end there.

Against the odds, the third quarter of 2009--the most profitable in the firm's history--beat everybody's expectations.  With a turnover of 9.87 billion dollars and profit that is well up on last year, Apple can remain confident about the future.  Steve Jobs predicted even better things to come, saying "we've got a very strong lineup for the holiday season and some really great new products in the pipeline for 2010."
