Apple sales are high due to international availability, and thats no ordinary feat. It would interesting to see US only numbers.

I liked the old Apple, which out-sold the competition just on their product and product differentiation.

Apple's playing in a market that is much more competitive than the PC / MP3 player market though, with competitors working on vastly different business model and undercutting on product whenever they can ...

I for one am glad that Apple is so much more international than Google and Amazon, because I live outside of US.
