iPods almost equal Mac sales

In unit terms, at least. In its last quarter, Apple shipped 876,000 Macs and 860,000 iPods, according to the press release about its financial results.

"For the quarter, the Company posted a net profit of $61 million ... These results compare to a net profit of $19 million in the year-ago quarter ... Revenue for the quarter was $2.014 billion, up 30 percent from the year-ago quarter. Gross margin was 27.8 percent, up from 27.7 percent in the year-ago quarter. International sales accounted for 39 percent of the quarter's revenue."

"It was an outstanding quarter—our highest third quarter revenue in eight years," said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO.
