My gut? AAPL will meet its own estimates and guide cautiously, as they always seem to do. That will indicate to me that there will still be no new product category for its lineup (iPhone, media center, etc). AAPL will be predicting a crappy economy for the remainder of the year and will be modifying its sales predictions to reflect it. I think the company will begin showing improved market share figures each qtr but the weight of the economy will keep overall earnings growth below previous levels.

I don't see how they can possibly beat consensus estimates given a growth slowdown in iPods and essentially non-existent PowerMac sales this past quarter. I can't imagine that Macbook and MacBook Pro sales have made up the difference.
