Can they repeat that kind of growth in 2006? It seems impossible, but It will be fun finding out.

Impossible. I think it seems rather likely.

They better, it's already baked into the stock price. The question now is what happens in '07.

"PH -Why not continue with the iPod sales numbers?"
iPod sales according to Apple's quarterly financial results (before 2003 Q4 Apple did not break out iPod sales):

Fiscal quarter iPods sold
2003 Q4 336,000
2004 Q1 733,000
2004 Q2 807,000
2004 Q3 860,000
2004 Q4 2,016,000
2005 Q1 4,580,000
2005 Q2 5,311,000
2005 Q3 6,155,000
2005 Q4 6,451,000
Total 27,249,000

Fiscal year iPods sold
2002 381,000
2003 939,000
2004 4,416,000
2005 22,497,000
Total 28,233,000

note: if projections of 10-12 mil for this quarter are correct then about one third of all iPods will have been sold this quarter (I know folks who received two iPods-different models- as holiday gifts); also note that Q1 has been twice the preceeding Q4, Apple is now selling about as many iPods per week as it did in all of 2003
