Apple is due to release their Third Quarter financial results in about one hour from this posting. According to various media outlets and analysts, Apple is expected to announce slower iPod sales (5.29 million, according to Bloomberg; slightly down from Q2’s 5.31 million), but very strong Macintosh sales, despite the announced switch to Intel processors starting next year.

Apple will make the earnings report conference call available to the public, starting at 2 PM PDT. If you’re not up to that, stick with Deep Thought for the latest in Apple’s financial health.
