With Apple's Quarter 4 earnings report to take place this Wednesday analysts are betting on what Apple will announce.
Apple looks set to outperform its own guidance of $4.5 billion to $4.6 billion in revenue with earnings per share between 46 cents and 48 cents.
Many analysts believe that strong Intel Mac sales and robust iPod sales will act favourably upon Apple.
Of interest Apple reported $3.68 billion in revenue and sold 6.4 million iPods and 1.2 million Macs in Quarter 4 2005. Q4 2005 was Apple's best quarter in its history and concluded Apples best year.
