Apple's new Intel-based Macs
Apple Computer Inc Tuesday introduced new Intel-powered desktop and notebook computers and said its wildly popular iPods helped drive a 63 percent jump in holiday quarter sales, sending shares up nearly 6 percent.
The company sold 14 million iPod music and video players during the holiday quarter and has sold 42 million to date. The company's online iTunes store has sold 850 million songs.
The strong demand for iPods helped fuel a 63 percent jump in revenue to a record $5.7 billion during the holiday quarter compared with a year earlier, and near the high end of Wall Street forecasts.
MacBook Pro
Apple also introduced new computers based on Intel Corp. chips, the first to result from its decision to switch from IBM PowerPC chips it had used for years.
The company's new line of iMac computers would come in the same shape and sizes as the existing G5 line of iMacs, with starting prices at $1,299.
The new Apple computers are based on Intel Core Duo microchips and are set to begin shipping on Tuesday, with the entire Macintosh line moving to Intel chips this year, the company said. It also introduced a new high-end laptop called the MacBook Pro that will replace its PowerBook series, starting in February at prices beginning at $1,999.
The new iMac is two to three times faster than the iMac G5 that also included a remote control with FM radio capabilities for its iPod music player. The company also updated its iLife photo and media software as a new version of its suite of digital media editing tools for use in organizing and editing music, photos and movies and Web sites. The $79 price of iLife includes the ability to edit high-definition videos.
A remote control with FM radio capabilities for the iPod was also unveiled.
The iPod Radio Remote enables users to skip tracks and adjust the volume of their iPod even when it's in a pocket or backpack and listen to FM radio stations while displaying station and song information on their iPod screen.
While the iPod faithful focused on new products, investors cheered the company's strong holiday quarter.
