Is Apple Worth More?

Motley Fool:

[The] success [of the iPod] has yet to cause a surge in sales of Apple computers. In fact, the company is selling more music players than its signature Macintosh computers, for which demand has been slowing. According to a report out by Merrill Lynch, PC unit growth will likely peak in 2004, with yearly revenue growth expected to slow from 6% to only 2% over the next two years. Compared to other computer makers, Apple had a 4% decline in unit sales worldwide from the previous quarter while its competitors gained an average 14%.

No other home computer vendor in the top 10 posted a decline in year-over-year unit growth worldwide except Apple.

There has been a lot of BS about the iPod's success helping out the Mac. Pure speculation, I've said. Well, this backs it up.
