The company was in the early innings of its iPad launch, which was just picked up by Verizon and AT&T in the coming quarter. The final quarter of the year is also the Chrsitmas quarter. Sales from Apple's new iPod lineup should impact sales in a positive way. The company also blew past Research in Motion last quarter, selling 14 million iPhones - an Apple record.
