Apple announced record sales figures for Mac and iPod for the first quarter of 2009 in today’s conference call. However, iPhone sales were down over 2 million from last quarter, yet the drop was expected. Other notes of interest for the quarter include making over $10 billion in revenue for the first time ever and Tim Cook’s attack-dog attitude toward iPhone copy-cats and similar products. Cook basically said that if someone is stealing Apple’s ideas, they’re gonna get hell for it. Apple’s stock is up nearly 7 percent in after-hour trading, so the earnings were pretty successful. Oh, and just an added piece of information: Apple’s got $28 billion in the bank with no debt, don’t you just wish you were in that position.
